No....next one was Madonna at 17 and then Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday concert at 18. Both also in Wembley.

Then I began going to 'proper' concerts thereafter.

I've never seen Swan Lake, but love the music.

It was my New Year resolution 20192020 to see more live music...

I wasn’t into mainstream music when I was younger so it was mostly raves and nightclubs to see DJ’s.

My first real concert was Red Hot Chili Peppers when I was about 24.
