The angry citizen from Manchester turns things up again. This time he takes the live model of his Swedish colleagues from Korn. A spectacle without any meaning, he etches in an interview with the tabloid “The Sun on Sunday”.
From May 27th, Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid are known to be there as virtual art figures on the stage. A few tickets are still available for the holography shows for the new “Voyage” album, which will take place in the purpose-built Abba Arena in London’s Olympia Park.

Once he has gained momentum, his criticism is generally directed against rock’n’roll as an age model. He would no longer want to be on stage in his mid-seventies. “Do I want to live another 50 years?” was his rhetorical question. “Nah. You just have to think about how shit the world is now. I wouldn’t want to live through that. I’ll be gone when I’m 75!”
