I heard that QOTSA were never going to play that gig at Somerset House anyway...not why though

As far as I understhand the gig was cancelled in the afternoon on the advice of the authorities and they were still trying to go ahead until that point.

That's how I remember it. The late night show at Koko was first to be officially cancelled, after which we all guessed that Somerset House would follow.

All gigs, shows, plays etc that were scheduled that day were asked to cancel.

Terrorists were caught planning to suicide bomb nightclubs, so a rock gig would be as much a target.

Maybe they had inside information.

As far as I knew it was a go ahead. Everyone attending certainly thought so.

that it was going to be "Spectacular"??

Hmm...creepy echo of the feeling of that day this morning on the tube. Every few stops we kept hearing announcements of other lines being shut. I could see I wasn't the only one feeling that.
