Roxy music declare the special guest who will be supporting their upcoming shows as well as releasing more tickets for their London show. Roxy the English band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry, have recently reunited, to fans surprise and are commemorating 50 years since the release of the bands debut album Roxy Music.
Roxy Music are one of the most influential groups within rock, so this return is well anticipated. The band members who will be present for these performances will be, vocalist Bryan Ferry, guitarist Phil Manzanera, saxophonist Andy McKay and drummer Paul Thompson.Original keyboardist Brian Eno who left the group in 1973 will not be included. Eno has previously refrained from taking part in previous reunions. Guitarist Phil Manzanera stated on one occasion that he could understand why Brian declines returning to perform together as he said “What would he do for the songs he wasn’t on? Just hang around? It would be a bit beneath him”. Eno back in 2012 corroborated this statement by expressing “It’s simply not in my temperament to look back”
The group announced today that extra tickets for the gig at the 02 London, have been added to allow more people to experience this reunion for themselves. Purchase for these tickets will be available here on Friday September 16th.Singer-songwriter Nilüer Yanya is the support act that has been announced to be opening all three UK shows. Yanya has previously supported Adele and Sam Fender throughout the summer.
