## Sombr Shares Stage with Sophie Ellis-Bextor for Surprise ‘Murder On The Dancefloor‘ Performance in london
Rising indie artist sombr delivered a special performance at London’s KOKO venue last night (November 21), welcoming Sophie Ellis-Bextor onstage for an unexpected rendition of her hit song “Murder On The Dancefloor.” The collaboration followed a last-minute proclamation of the intimate show, offering fans a unique experience beyond his planned 2026 UK and European tour dates.
The surprise appearance underscores Sombr’s burgeoning momentum following a breakout year that included his debut on Saturday Night Live, a grammy nomination for Best new Artist, and the release of his critically acclaimed album, ‘I Barely No Her.’ The performance highlights a willingness to connect with audiences in unexpected ways, building on a fanbase that has rallied around his honest lyrics and energetic stage presence-even in the face of recent online criticism.
Sombr’s debut album, ‘I Barely Know Her,’ released in August, received a four-star review from NME, which described it as “an album driven by heartache but that hasn’t stopped Sombr from creating a gloriously dynamic record that’s less about misery and more about catharsis.”
The 20-year-old artist recently addressed body-shaming comments made about his live performances on TikTok, responding to critics with a pointed message about expectations at his concerts. “I totally respect people having opinions, but…if you’re 25 years old and you’re going to come to my concert and not expect people younger then you to be there, when I the artist am five years younger than you, it’s just a skill issue,” he stated.
