Placebo

During the live recording of "Beautiful James" from the "Never Let Me Go" tour, Placebo was actively promoting their seventh studio album, "Never Let Me Go," which was released in March 2022. This album marked their first release in nearly a decade, following "Loud Like Love" from 2013. The lead single, "Beautiful James," showcases Placebo's signature blend of alternative rock with poignant lyrics, reflecting themes of love and acceptance. The "Never Let Me Go" tour allowed the band to reconnect with fans, as they had largely been absent from touring during the pandemic. Interestingly, Placebo's enduring legacy in the music scene is characterized by their unique sound and androgynous aesthetics, which have influenced countless artists since their debut in the 1990s. The 2022 tour was significant not just for the new material but also for celebrating their consistent evolution over the years.
