Tim Healy was dubbed the 'king of the city' by son Matty as he made an unexpected appearance at The 1975's sold out show in Newcastle on Wednesday night.
While The 1975 frontman Matty spent much of his early life in the north west of England, he has firmly planted Geordie roots, thanks to his parents being Auf Wiedersehen Pet and Benidorm actor Tim and Coronation Street and Soldier Soldier star Denise Welch. And, while after being given a royal reception in Brighton, Denise was nowhere to be seen on Tyneside on Wednesday, Tim had quite the impact.
After son Matty and his bandmates had got their two hour plus set off to a great start with the likes of Somebody to Love, Oh Caroline and Happiness, Tim. a fine singer in his own right, walked onto the stage to do Matt proud with a great rendition of The 1975 track All I Need To Hear.
