King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard allowed a fan named Timmy the chance to honor his fallen friend with an onstage performance of “Perihelion” during their August 19th set at the Suffolk Downs in Boston, MA. The Australian psych rockers invited the man up onstage to sit in on guitar on the track after being moved by a sign he was holding up asking if he could pay tribute to his late friend.
Upon being invited up, Timmy explained that his friend Joey had perished in February in an avalanche and was a huge fan of the band, with his favorite song being “Perihelion” from King Gizzard‘s 2019 thrash metal album, “Infest The Rat’s Nest“.
Timmy also revealed that Joey had planned to be attending the show. As Timmy said from the stage, “Anyone here, who’s with a friend tonight, just make sure you cherish this moment, because it’s a really hard lesson to learn that this moment won’t last forever.”
King Gizzard are out on the back of their 26th studio album, “FLIGHT b741“, which saw a release earlier this month. Their tour will roll onward as follows.
