6th April 2017 - Paris Date Cancelled
Live Nation regrets to announce the cancellation of the Pet Shop Boys' show at L‘Olympia, on Monday 5th June 2017, for the reasons explained below:
It is with great regret that the Pet Shop Boys have to announce the cancellation of their re-scheduled Paris Olympia show on Monday 5th June 2017, because it has
been brought to our attention that, under French law, certain integral parts of the show production, in particular the lasers, cannot be used indoors. France is the
only country in the world that has this law and no other shows on the 'Super Tour' are affected. Attempts to find a suitable outdoor venue in Paris have been
fruitless. Full refunds are available from point of purchase. The Pet Shop Boys would like to offer their sincere apologies for the great inconvenience caused to
their fans.

a conversation between the pair backstage at a Pretenders gig in Austin, Texas, during which Neil told Chrissie that the track should be her next single. Chrissie
said she would release it on the condition that he sang vocals with her; subsequently, when both artists were back in London they went in to Sarm Studios where Neil
added his vocals to the track. This collaboration continues a working relationship that started when Chrissie performed 'Four Songs In A Minor' with the BBC Concert
Orchestra at the Pet Shop Boys' Proms show at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2015. Neil said, "I love Chrissie's voice and I love this song. It was a pleasure to
sing and it's a thrill to be part of a duet with Chrissie."

consistently excellent singles and albums and working to blur the boundaries between art, music and social commentary.
Their influence on pop culture is undeniable and the list of artists they’ve worked with is a mini rock 'n' roll hall of fame. Pet Shop Boys' stage performances and
festival shows are never anything short of spectacular, and we're honoured that our latest Godlike Geniuses will grace the Brixton stage for an extra-special set of
hits to close the VO5 NME Awards 2017."
