In January 2022, during the "Never Let Me Go" tour, Placebo was promoting their seventh studio album, "Never Let Me Go," which had been released just a few months earlier in March 2022. This album marked a significant return for the band after a lengthy hiatus from new material; their last studio album prior to that was "Loud Like Love," released in 2013. The 2022 live performance of "Running Up That Hill," originally by Kate Bush, showcases Placebo’s ability to reinterpret classic tracks while maintaining their distinctive sound. Notably, "Never Let Me Go" delves into themes of mortality and love, reflecting their evolved artistic identity as they navigated the challenges of the pandemic and their career's longevity. The live performance captures their energetic stage presence, highlighting their enduring popularity and relevance in the modern music scene.
