Evan Peters presents…
The Alarm
Mike Peters, lead singer of The Alarm passed away nine months ago on April 29th 2025 after a shock
diagnosis of Richters Syndrome, a rare and aggressive lymphoma.
Mike lived out his final year following his diagnosis with an unrivalled positivity, performing over 40
shows, writing a brand-new Alarm album, all whilst undergoing gruelling chemotherapy and
pioneering CAR T Therapy at the world famous Christie Hospital CAR T was Mike’s hope for a cure
and new beginnings.
Throughout his 31 years living with leukaemia, Mike never gave up without a fight; channelling his
eternal belief of ‘love hope and strength’ through his charity foundation of the same name, right to
the very end. Saving lives one concert at a time.
Mike’s dying wishes were for his son Evan, aged 19 to continue his legacy and take The Alarm forwards
into the future.
Evan explains. “My first gig was aged 3 months old when my dad organised a concert on the top of
the Empire State Building, New York, in aid of our charity Love Hope Strength as a fundraiser before
leading a hike to Everest in 2007, the year I was born!
The Alarm is in my DNA. I’ve lived and breathed it all my life, on tour across the USA and Europe.
I’m looking forward to touring The Alarm, promoting the new album ‘Transformation’ which I played
drums on and next year twenty years on, I’m leading a hike back to Everest, Nepal on behalf of our
charity.
Dad was an amazing dad, and he has left me, my family and The Alarm Family a massive legacy. Dad
was so full of positivity right to his last dying day and so I am determined to honour his wishes.
I’m really excited about the opportunity to take The Alarm to the 100 Club as Dad told me stories
about getting a job working once a month in the 100 Club when he first moved to London from Rhyl.
Dad worked the cloak room at the 6T’s Soul Club All Club Nighter and famously let Shane Macgowan
sleep on the coats all through the night!
It’s also fitting that the gig takes place a day after my dad’s birthday when he would have been 67.
Expect a greatest hits Alarm set ranging from 1982 to 2026!
