The Good, The Bad and The Queen to play last  Hammersmith Palais show

The Good, The Bad & The Queen have confirmed they will play the final show at London's legendary Hammersmith Palais on March 31.

The band will be joined by special guests The Tony Allen Orchestra, with additional support slots yet to be announced.

A late license on the night will bring the historic venue to an end, as bulldozers are expected to move in on April 1 to demolish the building in favour of office blocks.
