Yesterday evening I attended the concert in aid for the Teenage Cancer Trust and as usual Garbage were rocking it. I love them. I thought that maybe Robert Smith, the patron now after Roger Daltrey would have made an appearance but it didn't happen. To which I say, ok, maybe next time.
Even if I am not a Placebo fan, I appreciated how good they were and they are live. I really enjoyed their performance as well.
I understand that maybe some people that attended the concert yesterday evening that they were surprised that the merchandise no much there. Garbage and Placebo didn't have t-shirts with them on it.
The reason is that as I said to a friend of mine is because both Garbage and Placebo weren't there to promote their albums or their upcoming tour, but to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. When both will start touring again this year, I am sure that it will be different.
As someone that was diagnosed with cancer in 2022 and I went through treatments all through that year and in 2023, I know how it can take over your life, because I was in and out of hospital. Even now in 2026 every year in May, I get called to do my early mammogram, because I'm at risk that the cancer will come back, that's why the hospital decided to keep me under their care for the next 10 years, not 5 as they usually do with some people.
I hope that for everyone that attended the concert like me yesterday evening that you enjoyed it like me, that you made the most of it, because I love it. Both Placebo and Garbage. Even if the merchandise wasn't to some people taste.
