Story summary

Mike Skinner performed a full-album rendition of *A Grand Don’t Come for Free* at Shepherd’s Bush, recreating the bus-shelter cover.
He sang deadpan without addressing the audience, backed by his best-ever band, as a dilapidated bus shelter prop showed X-Files graffiti “The Truth is out There”.
The show closed with *Empty Cans*, during which Skinner found a lost £1,000 to cheers.
The UK tour will resume on 26 June.
