Apart from the ones already mentioned, I saw the comedian Bill Bailey at one of the Royal Albert Hall shows during either the Get Lucky or KTGC tour.

Interesting, didn’t know he was a fan.

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.

I didn’t realise that John and Heidi were no longer together. None of my business really but I did love her records and his playing on them. I also love his first wife’s music.

I remember someone telling that also Rowan Atkinson was seen at MK concerts.

Hardly surprising though, he’s a good guitar player himself. I’ve seen him live a couple of times, he’s great.

And Phil Cunningham as a guest in Glasgow.

I have something in my head about seeing Bernie Ecclestone at the RAH but not sure if I dreamt that :)

Forgot about that - I have my picture taken with him.  It was the night he played on Wild Theme in 2010.
