Mike Peter's son to take to the stage at Lytham Festival
Mike, frontman of The Alarm, had been scheduled to perform on the festival's closing night, Sunday, July 6, ahead of headliners Simple Minds and Texas. Sadly, Mike died on April 29, and The Alarm's appearance was cancelled. Now, a special and heartfelt tribute is being planned for the beloved musician and campaigner involving his youngest son Evan, who will take to the stage to perform a selection of his father's songs. In a statement, Lytham Festival said: "On Sunday, July 6, this year's TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival will host a heartfelt tribute to the beloved musician and campaigner Mike Peters of The Alarm. "Originally scheduled to perform on the festival's closing night before headliners Simple Minds and Texas, The Alarm's appearance was sadly cancelled following Mike's passing in April at the age of 66, after battling an aggressive form of lymphoma. "In a touching celebration of his life and music, Mike's son, Evan Peters, will take to the stage to honour his father's legacy by performing a selection of his songs. "We hope to see you there, and pay tribute together." On Facebook, Jules shared the Lytham Festival post and wrote: 'Father to Son" with a green heart emoji. The couple also share son Dylan. Mike, who lived in Dyserth, died on April 29 from blood cancer at the age of 66 – more than 30 years after he was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) at the age of 36.
