Garbage headlined Saturday night of the Teenage Cancer Trust's charity concert series at the Royal Albert Hall, with lead vocalist Shirley Manson performing despite laryngitis. According to multiple reports, Manson drank whisky to soothe her throat during the concert. During the set, Manson made political statements, criticizing the removal of trans girls from the Girl Guides and praising participants in an anti-far-right march in London earlier that day.
Wolf Alice headlined the final night of the Robert Smith-curated Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall, performing new tracks Hit the Sky and Gospel Oak. After the opener Heavenward, bassist Theo Ellis urged the crowd to have the 'best Sunday night ever'. In an emotional moment, Ellie Roswell played flute and tin whistle with friends on stage.
I've got laryngitis.
Wolf Alice's encore included The Last Man on Earth and Don't Delete the Kisses.
It's terrible how much I wanna cry during this gig. It must be this gaff – it's very nice. This song is about friendship. Look at each other, love each other, hug each other, celebrate each other. It's the best thing having a good mate.
