During a performance in France at the Musilac Music Festival in Aix-Les-Bains, Yungblud joined Placebo on stage in a version of ‘Nancy Boy’. This was towards the end of Placebo’s set which included hits such as ‘The Bitter End’, ‘Every You Every Me’ and Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)’.
