King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox Perform Solemn, Boobless Cover of Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” In Solidarity With Ukraine
At this point, we are used to the “Sunday Lunch” videos made by King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and his wife, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox, being funny viral snippets that mostly involve Toyah shaking her gals on camera. But now, Fripp and Toyah have recorded a chaste and grim-faced version of Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” as a display of solidarity with Ukraine.
The video comes with the simple caption:
Ukraine We Hear You….. #ukraine #stoptheinvasion #stopthewarrussia
