British ska legends Madness have given away brand new track ‘Death of a Rudeboy’ as a free download, following their performance at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony last night.
‘Death of a Rudeboy’ is a taste of what is to come from the hotly-anticipated new Madness album, the details of which are expected to drop soon. The Olympic Closing Ceremony saw the band perform alongside the likes of The Who, Take That and The Spice Girls for an epic night of British music.
Commenting on the performance, the band said: “What a privilege it was to take part in the Olympics in our hometown, our house in the middle of our street, to invite the world to the most extraordinary street party and to be there giving out cups of tea and sausage sandwiches at the closing ceremony. London is the world and the world is London, God bless you all, you know you are always welcome down our way.”
The band are also preparing themselves for the ‘Charge of the Mad Brigade’ winter tour 2012. The tour, which is the band’s biggest to date, will see them showcase tracks from the new album as well as all the fans favorite hits. The tour starts in Cardiff on November 30th and will take in twelve dates including two shows at London’s O2 Arena - you can find a full list of dates, as well as links to find tickets, below.
