Singer Toyah Wilcox and King Crimson founder Robert Fripp paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth in the latest installment of their ‘Toyah & Robert’s Sunday Lunch’ YouTube series.
The couple performed David Bowie’s “Heroes”, while Toyah held up signs honoring not only Queen Elizabeth II, but other members of the WWII generation – including Toyah’s father and Fripp’s uncle. Fripp played the iconic sustained-guitar part on the original 1977 version of “Heroes”.
