Placebo

The Pure Morning rockers issued a social media request to fans not to film or take photos when they toured the UK and Ireland in 2022.

The duo – comprised of Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal – said: "Dear Placebo fans, we would like to kindly ask you NOT to spend the concert filming or taking photos with your mobile phones.

"It makes Placebo's performance so much more difficult. More difficult to connect with you and to communicate effectively the emotions of the songs. It is also disrespectful to your fellow concertgoers who want to watch the show, not the back of your phone."

The request continued: "Please be here and now in the present and enjoy the moment. Because this exact moment will never ever happen again. Our purpose is to create communion and transcendence. Please help us on our mission. With respect and love."
