    Peter Capaldi

    When the Doctor dropped in for a surprise appearance at Franz Ferdinand’s Glastonbury 2025 set, fans could not get enough of the classic David Bowie vibes! The 12th Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi, cut a smart figure in a retro-styled suit when he made his big entrance to sing the band’s biggest hit “Take Me Out.” The band’s signature banger was always going to be the highlight of their set, so clearly the only way to top it was bringing the legendary Glaswegian thespian and rocker onboard.

    Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos opened “Take Me Out” with his signature hooky vocals. Capaldi then traded lines back and forth with the frontman, delivering an intense baritone with a ton of gravitas. Watching Capaldi stalk the stage with his brooding energy def brought a new vibe to the band’s breakout hit. We have to say that the dual frontman act gave the band’s Glasto set an electric energy, and the hype response from the crowd said it all!

    BBC Music uploaded Franz Ferdinand’s collab with Capaldi to YouTube on June 28, 2025, and it has since hit one million views. Fans were digging the surprise appearance and added comments such as “Anyone else feel like he’s channelling Bowie a bit with the baritone vocals and his stage presence?? Capaldi killed it, not bad for a 2000 yr old time lord.” and “My brain can’t even process that this is real, it’s too good and full of my favorite things.”

    “Take Me Out” is the kind of bop that was just made for big festival slots. Our favorite Franz Ferdinand performance remains their old school cut of “Take Me Out” at T in the Park 2014. Kapranos is in absolutely cracking form on the mic, and the energy that the band is putting out has the crowd in a frenzy. The moment when the crowd begins singing the main guitar hook as one, you know it’s gonna be an absolutely lit performance.

    Franz Ferdinand dropped “Take Me Out” as their second single all the way back on January 12, 2004. The single turned the Scottish act into international indie stars overnight. “Take Me Out” went triple Platinum in the UK and quadruple Platinum in both the US and Canada. The jangly post-punk revival tune remains Franz Ferdinand’s most popular song and is the group’s only tune to surpass one billion streams on Spotify.

    “He wasn’t singing to the crowd… he was singing to a little angel named Lily.” Over 25,000 people held their breath as Bruce Springsteen whispered the name of his three-year-old granddaughter on a stage bathed in light. No guitar. Not “The Boss.” Just a grandfather, trembling as he cradled the child in his arms, swaying gently to a reimagined “Dancing in the Dark” — no longer a rebel’s anthem, but a fragile lullaby breaking hearts wide open. In the crowd, Jessica Springsteen — his daughter — covered her mouth, sobbing, as she realized her father wasn’t just performing… he was passing his soul to the next generation. And when Bruce lifted Lily high beneath the spotlight, the arena didn’t erupt in cheers — it melted into silence. A moment beyond words… because that was legacy. That was love. That was the heartbeat of three generations, beating as one.

    Roger Waters has sparked a massive wave of controversy after making harsh remarks about the late Ozzy Osbourne. In a recent interview, the Pink Floyd co-founder dismissed Ozzy’s legacy, saying he “didn’t give a damn” about Ozzy or Black Sabbath, even mocking the infamous bat-biting moment. Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, didn’t hold back — firing back directly on Instagram, calling Waters “pathetic and out of touch,” and adding that his father “always thought you were an a–hole — thanks for proving him right.” This fiery exchange has shaken the rock world, dividing fans between two legendary names.

The rock icon, known for his passionate performances and heartfelt storytelling, defended Ozzy’s legacy while taking a subtle jab at Waters with a cryptic eight-word message.
