Keane at the O2 Arena

Keane’s concert at the O2 London Arena was a moving celebration of their 20-year journey, as Iris Beek reports with live photos from Isabella Nixon.

The English alternative rock band Keane is celebrating the 20-year anniversary of their debut album Hopes and Fears in actual style. Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley, Jesse Quin, and Richard Hughes are celebrating this huge milestone with a remastered album version and a massive world tour. On 10 & 11 May, the band performed in London’s O2 Arena, and it was an absolute night to never forget.

The atmosphere was electric as the quartet took to the stage, greeted by a huge applause from the crowd. From the outset, it was evident that this was more than just a performance—it was a communal experience, a chance for fans to come together and celebrate the music that has defined their lives. There were a lot of smiles, and a few tears have been shed as well. What was particularly striking about Keane’s performance was their ability to own the stage without any crazy visuals or gimmicks. Instead, it was Tom Chaplin’s voice that stole the show, which proved where the success of the band came from.

Keane held the audience in the palm of their hand. Hits like ‘Bend & Break’ elicited raucous cheers and wild applause, as fans reveled in the chance to hear their favorite live songs. During their hits like ‘Everybody’s Changing’ and ‘This Is the Last Time,’ the crowd sang along, their voices blending seamlessly with Chaplin’s powerful vocals. But the show highlight was ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, a moment of pure magic, where everyone celebrated a decade of Keane.

The arena was bathed with confetti during ‘Sovereign Light Café’, it was evident that Keane’s music had left a huge mark on the hearts of the audience It was a night of pure magic, reminding us of the transcendent power of music to move, to heal, and just to celebrate the 20 years of an amazing album. Keane is here to stay for another 20 years. Experience the show itself with photos from Isabella Nixon below.

The 20th-anniversary edition of Hopes and Fears is out now and available via the band’s shop here.

Dear Editor:

I wrote a letter to the Guardian in response to this column by Mark Rice-Oxley: --

Dear Editor, When I read Mark Rice-Oxley’s, column “Drugs alone won't cure the epidemic of depression. We need strategy,” I found his overall premise to be oversimplified and dangerously narrow-minded. I was diagnosed with clinical depression a few years ago. I currently take Fluoxetine daily to cope with my symptoms, and, in combination with therapy, I feel that this has made my depression manageable. I’d like to share my thoughts, especially as it relates to Mr. Rice-Oxley’s views on antidepressant medication, societal responsibility, and prevention.

Vilifying medication is not a positive step forward. This view is widely held, and is not one that needs defending and evangelising in the public sphere. I wept in my car on the way home from the pharmacy when I first picked up my antidepressants. No one should feel ashamed of asking for medical attention when it’s needed. 

Unless “busy healthcare professionals” are severely and routinely abusing their prescription pads (I doubt it), blaming this upward trend on lazy doctors is irresponsible and insulting. Consider the cost of supplying prescriptions versus all of the other ways untreated depression tends to manifest: alcoholism, smoking, binge-eating, taking extra sick days, distracted driving, road rage, self-harm and suicide.

The medical community and mental health advocates have moved mountains to dodge views like Mr. Rice-Oxley’s, that people with depression should “don’t try so hard, lower expectations a little [...] Take proper holidays, nurture your friendships...” You can’t cure nor prevent any disease with a pedicure or pint with a friend; to imply the same about depression is dangerous and diminishes the struggle of patients and the work of doctors and therapists.

Of course, we should take the pressure off our students, but Mr. Rice-Oxley’s perspective on this is shortsighted at best. What about poor folks? What about women? What about LGBTQIA folks? What about people of color? There are issues affecting depressed people and people at-risk of depression that clearly aren’t even in Mr. Rice-Oxley’s stratosphere. We know that all of these groups are more at risk of violence, poverty, sexual assault and harassment, inequality in the workplace, and yes, mental health issues. It is unconscionably ignorant to erase these aspects of the mental health discussion from your evaluation of the “system.”

 Antidepressants saved my life. Instead of condemning pills, I urge everyone to support the people who need them. All the best,  Sarah Hiraki

Q&A with Tom

SO, it all started with this

And here I gather all questions and answers from today with our favourite singer. Hope you enjoy!

*Note* Question with ‘ ******* ‘ in front is question that came with picture. If I have a permission from the owner, I’ll edit the post then. Now I’m just going to put *Note* behind it and describe what the photo is like.

**Do not repost any pictures here in this post (except the one with Tom’s dog which belongs to Tom). They are all from personal accounts on Twitter and I asked for a permission to post them only here. If you want to use the pictures in your post, contact the owners. I leave all the details for that below each pictures posted.** 

Q: Will “It’s Over” ever get released? Love that song

A: Must find a home for it. One of my absolute favourites. So yes, I hope so!

Q: Any reading recommendations? :)

A: Stoner. Fabulous, if depressing.

Q: What kind of in ears do you wear? They look amazing

A:  They’re made by ACS. Very good. I’d be more or less deaf by now if it wasn’t for in-ear technology!

Q: Thanks for your solo album! Great stuff. When do you think that the next Keane album will be released?

A:  Can’t really say yet but it’s coming.

Q:  Will there be any more solo stuff or will it be back to Keane?

A:  I’m writing all the time. But let’s see what happens.

Q:  What is your input on the new Keane album?

A: Singing as best I can.

Q:  Do you think you’d have any plans to do a 15 year anniversary tour of hopes and fears?

A:  Interesting idea but feels to soon for a retrospective move like that. Maybe the 25th anniversary. Or the 50th...if we’re not pushing up daisies by that point.

*******Q:  In honor of Somewhere Only We Know being our family’s song *Note* A picture of tattoo saying ‘simple thing’ on the side of a body.

A:  Nice! I reckon 90% of people think it’s “sympathy”. Well done for getting the lyric correct...cos I’m not paying for laser removal.

Q:  Absoluted loved "time" being played at Hastings last summer... have you been writing anything else along that style of music? Or was it a one off?

A:  Yep.

Q:  Does the new keane album include any songs written by you?

A:  Err no, I ran out the way of the Tim Rice-Oxley songwriting juggernaut.

Q:  Do you have a regular ritual before you go on stage ?

A:  Just pacing around feeling panicked.

Q:  Favorite place in the world?

A:  Family cuddle. (Sorry for the sentimentality there).

Q:  Any advice for new musicians?

A:  Write what you feel, don’t be afraid to enter the swamp of shame inside you and lay it all out there. That’s what people will connect with.

Q:  What do you miss most about being on tour with Keane?

A:  Banter that only we can understand with a darkness that should only be shared amongst friends.

Q:  What would you say to a bundle of 11/12 years old who ended up loving your music after singing Under A Million Lights? If you sent me a message, I could show them in class and I can tell they would collapse (in thankfulness and awe!) They love you.

A:  You are the greatest class of all time and you will save the world...

Q: Can you give me a birthday shout out?! It was yesterday!

A:  Happy Birthday legend.

Q:  Any plans on visiting Dublin for a concert soon

A:  Be feckin’ rude not to.

Q:  Are they any tickets left for your Harrogate show? #asktom

A:  Probably!

Q:  Do you feel as comfortable as usual working with keane? Has anything changed?

A: It’s like a mad old family which, as most of us know, brings its heady cocktail of love and pain.

A: For those of you asking about the dog. She’s a total pain in the arse...but very lovely too.

Q:  Did you see the Michael Jackson documentary and what was your conclusion?

A:  I can’t bear to watch it. It doesn’t sound so good for Jacko. Mind you, I’d say he’s got bigger problems right now.

Q:  Is it a hard task to write a song (music+words)? For instance... "Quicksand"?

A:  The hardest but most rewarding part. Lyrics are like a puzzle that has to be figured out.

Q: What would you say to the younger Tom Chaplin?

A:  Go and see a therapist Tom. It’s ok, you’re ok, it’s gonna be alright.

Q:  Best thing about Hastings /Battle?

A:  Battle is all sweet, nostalgic memories for me. Hastings Old Town is lovely. St Leonard’s is a funky place these days.

Q:  Which would you rather be attacked by? 1 horse sized duck or a dozen duck sized horses?

A:  Definitely the horse sized duck. I nearly wrote dick then. Thank you autocorrect...for once.

Q:  What do you feel when you listen "Fly to Me" by Keane?

A:  We played it at my Grandfather’s funeral, so I think of him.

Q:  What is "Closer Now" about?

A:  Unrequited love. Long time ago!

Q:  Would love to just get a hello!! I've been a longtime fan of yours, and listen to your music everyday. One of the people I support at work is 60 years old and completely blind. They love playing the Keane classics on the piano! They would love to know you said hello!

A:  Hello!!

Q:  In what way(s) has therapy helped you?

A: It’s helped in every corner of my life...particularly the corners I didn’t know about.

Q:  Do you get fed up with me taking your photo at gigs ?

A:  Most definitely not! You’re bloody wonderful Mark.

Q:  Are you watching any tv show or movie you can recommend?

A:  I’m just watching Fleabag series 2. Just got to the haircut scene...nearly spat my tea out!

Q:  Do you like my username? *Note* this guy’s username is @tomchaplin 

A:  Huh?? That’s both clever and a bit worrying....

Q:  Your opinion about LGBT community?

A:  We’re all on this journey together, let’s accept all of our fellow travellers!

Q:  What is Black Burning Heart about? One of my favourites

A:  God only knows...and Tim. Tim knows too.

Q:  Not a question more of a request. My son James has just started chemotherapy. He’s 16 and a big fan. Could you send a hello please

A:  Hello James. Whatever happens, keep wearing that mile wide smile.

Q:  My teacher just said if you reply to this tweet we wouldn’t have homework so if you have a soul please help us poor children out.

A:  Pens down. Also, don’t worry about school tomorrow, take a long weekend.

 Q: Do you like this photo I took of you

(Taken by Olivia from @xplodinglemon on Twitter. Here is the LINK direct to her tweet.)

A:  Anyone who says life is boring without drugs hasn’t seen this photo.

Q:  Matchy matchy. Mine are a pain in the area too. Must be a doodle thing...

(Taken by Lainey Farrant from @Lainey_Farrant on Twitter. Here is the LINK direct to her tweet.)

A:  oh my, that is quite the collection. 4 of them??? You must be utterly bonkers.

Q:  Last question, why Ipswich why not Man Utd???

A:  Clearly I’m not a glory seeker.

Q:  Can you remember how any of the old songs go? Asking for a friend. (*Note* Our drummer Richard came asking this himself lol)

A:  Great question Richard! I think nearly all of them have a beginning and an ending and maybe some stuff that happens in the middle. Hope that helps!

Q:  How does it feel knowing people feel so strongly about your music and have such close connections to moments of their own life? For me ‘Hardened Heart’, ‘Hamburg Song’ and ‘Eveybodys Changing’ have such close links to things that happened to me and always will #asktom

A:  We’re nothing if we’re not connected to each other in this life. I like to think that I would be ok stranded on a desert island...but two days in I’d be a quivering wreck.

And that’s it for today! Did you send him your questions? Got his answer? I send mind several times but they are just not so interesting haha. Let’s hope we’ll have some fun like this again and all of us will be a little luckier than today!

Keane - Nothing in My Way

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again with a new song curated just and right for ya, this week we've got one of the songs I love the most and that's really important to me because it brings back really good memories.

'Nothing in My Way' by Keane is already uploaded to my youtube channel and you can go listen to it now

So,

About the band

Keane (not to be confused with Kane) is a band from East Sussex (ENG) formed back in 1995 (just realized that was almost 30 years ago jfc)

The band is comprised by:

Tom Chaplin: lead vocals, electric/acoustic guitar Tim Rice-Oxley: piano, synthesizers, bass guitar, backing vocals Richard Hughes: drums, percussion, backing vocals Jesse Quin: bass guitar, acoustic/electric guitar, backing vocals

and formerly also Dominic Scott, who left in 2001, and was a guitarist.

They met while at highschool and formed the band, and 9 years later would come their international success with their debut album 'Hopes and Fears', in 2004.

Their history is really really extense, and as always, there is no point in basically resuming their wiki article, so we'll keep it here. Check them out, they have a website too!

About the song

'Nothing in My Way' holds a very special place in my heart because it marked the start of the post-covid era, after the restrictions started to be lifted here in Costa Rica and I could finally go out and skate again. Someone that I don't talk to anymore showed me this masterpiece. Not complaining, they left me something good.

The intro, the sounds, the chords, the lyrics, the energy. It reminds me of those warm afternoons of December here in Costa Rica. It takes me to a happy place. Take a listen, you will feel it too.

Any meaning?

According to a couple sources only (none official tho!) the song seems to talk about someone with internal issues that doesn't talk about them. Someone else knows about said issues, but says the person that suffers from them looks too good, maybe concerned?

Makes sense to me, tbh.
