Queen star Brian May hails The Last Dinner Party as ‘new British rock royalty’
The Queen guitarist attended the ‘Nothing Matters’ hitmakers’ show at London’s Eventim Apollo on Wednesday night (16.10.24) following an invite from lead guitarist Emily Roberts.
Brian admitted the group – also made up of Abigail Morris, Lizzie Mayland, Georgia Davies, and Aurora Nishevci – “completely smashed it” at the show.
He wrote on Instagram: “I got to meet the new British Rock Royalty tonight – The Last Dinner Party – and they completely smashed it tonight at the Eventim Apollo. What a great show ! What a joy !!! Thanks Emily for inviting me. (sic)”
Brian also admitted the gig provided him with a “good old dose of rock tonic”, which was exactly what he “needed”.
He wrote: “That was just what I needed – a good ol’ dose of Rock Tonic. Folks, you have to see these guys. Bri (sic)”
It comes after The Last Dinner Party had to axe shows in Lincoln and Cardiff last month “due to a sudden illness within the band”, and they then cancelled four more tour dates – in Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol, and Southampton, which were due to take place on October 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th respectively – due to “unforeseen illness”.
A post on the band’s official X page at the time read: “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming headline tour dates in Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol, and Southampton.
This is due to an unforeseen illness in the band and, following medical advice, we have to prioritise our health at this time.
“We are devastated not to be sharing these nights with you, and to have missed the shows in Lincoln and Cardiff. You should all know you’ve made this the most wonderful year of our lives and we can’t thank you enough for your love and support. Truly.”
