Mike Peters funeral will 'be like a festival'
Thousands of fans are expected to gather in Denbighshire for the funeral of The Alarm's Mike Peters. The musician and charity fundraiser died last month aged 66 after living with cancer for 30 years, following his diagnosis of lymphoma in 1995 and later having chronic lymphocytic leukaemia twice. The service, which will feature performances from musicians including Billy Duffy of The Cult, is being held in Peters' home village of Dyserth near Prestatyn on Thursday. His widow Jules said she hoped the funeral will be "rock and roll, like a festival". All welcome at Alarm singer Mike Peters' funeral My heart is forever broken, says Mike Peters' wife The Alarm singer Mike Peters dies aged 66 Frontman of The Alarm, Peters died on 29 April after being treated for an aggressive lymphoma - his most recent illness after three decades of juggling treatment with recording and touring. The group formed in 1981, sold five million albums and had 15 Top 40 hits including 68 Guns and Rain In The Summertime. Jules said her husband had always been so determined to recover that he hadn't planned much for his funeral. "I didn't like to bring it up too much in case he thought that I thought he was going to die," she said. "We did have a funny conversation once when he said 'if you keep talking funerals you're really damaging my confidence here'. So I stopped." About 150 people will attend the service at the Parish Church of St Bridget and St Cwyfan and a big screen will show the service to crowds outside. Reverend Gregor Lachlann-Waddell, vicar at the church, said: "The celebration befits a man whose life was marked by music, resilience, and unwavering hope." Peters' sons Dylan and Evan are expected to perform music as well as folk singer Dafydd Iwan and opera singer Rhys Meirion. Jules said it will be a reflection of her husband's life as a musician who performed all over the world alongside stars like Bob Dylan and Bono. "It is just going to be so rock and roll, like a festival and something that will go down in history for a long time to come." She paid tribute to the fans and friends who have lent their support, shared memories and offered condolences since the star's death. She also thanked the residents of Dyserth for their understanding as roads are closed to accommodate the funeral and mourners. "I think it's befitting for the man that came from Dyserth who became the rock star, travelled all around the world and always wanted to put the village on the map," she said. Jules said Peters' ashes will be buried in the churchyard across the road from the pub she runs with her sons. "What I really wanted was somewhere public, where everybody could come and pay their respects for the rest of time. That's what has brought me the most happiness and he'll be able to keep an eye on us. So this is perfect." The Manic Street Preachers, Simple Minds and U2 were among the rock bands who paid tribute to Peters following his death.
