Speaking to NME about the band’s upcoming live plans, Placebo’s Stefan Olsdal said that he “can honestly say that I haven’t been itching to play live this much since the band started”.

Asked about the long-term future of Placebo, Brian Molko added: “As long as we don’t become a heritage act, I don’t really know how to do anything else. It’s what I’ve been doing since I was 20.”
