MK Related Celebrity Sightings

[dustyvalentino]

Which celebrities have you spotted at MK live shows?

In Aberdeen in 1996 Mariella Frostrup and Adam Faith came out of the stage door onto the band bus. Adam Faith was appearing in a show at the local theatre I think.

In Dublin in 2006 Jurassic park actor Sam Neill was walking in, I was quite drunk after a day on the Guinness and asked him for a photo. He grudgingly agreed.

In Newcastle in 2008 Steve Phillips was with us in the queue at the stage door to go in for the pre-show meet and greet.

What ya got?!

John Illsley, Brian Johnson, Kitty Aldridge and Issy during RAH 2019. They were outside and walking through the venue (in the circle, don't know how to describe)

Guy Fletcher at the RAH in 2013 (I think), running up a flight of stairs from the arena area while I was heading down.  He said hello to me!

Whispering Bob Harris at Manchester, 2001.

[Pierre]

Ouaw that's a lot of sightings! maybe I came across many celebrities unknowingly as I went to quite a few concerts myself but I wouldn't recognize any of these people I think

[Jules]

I forgot some that many of you mentioned...

His family, of course (Kitty, both their daughters and both their twins), also Guy's family (sons and wife), same with McCusker ex wife and their first baby.

Also William Topley and most of his band, that were also the promo band that MK used at the time.

Sam Neil too in Dublin 2006.

Joe Brown at one of the RAH gigs, in which he appeared as a guest on stage, surprisingly for me.

I'm sure I've seen more that now I can't remember.
