As the show progressed, Cooper delighted fans with a medley featuring his own classic, School’s Out For Summer, combined with Pink Floyd’s Another Brick In The Wall. The moment was made even more memorable when huge balloons were released into the crowd, only for Cooper to burst them as they floated back towards the stage.
A Tribute to Rock Legends
Before the Hollywood Vampires took centre stage, the evening began with an electrifying performance by special guests, The Damned. Celebrating their 50th anniversary, this iconic punk and goth-rock band showcased five decades of ground-breaking music, setting the perfect atmosphere for the night ahead.

This is our last show in the UK and you’ve been the best audience!” Such heartfelt words from a rock legend highlighted the special connection between the band and their fans that night.
