Arctic Monkeys played ‘The Ultracheese’ on US TV last night
Oh, and also Alex Turner has shaved his head (!)
Arctic Monkeys brought new album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’ to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night, playing ‘The Ultracheese’ in black and white, with frontman Alex Turner debuting a shaved head on the show.
An image of the singer with his new haircut was posted before the performance online from the Late Show’s account, with the caption: “Woah, check out the haircut on #AlexTurner! @ArcticMonkeys fans, what do you think??”
It comes after yesterday when the band released their sci-fi-esque video for the album title track, set in the fictitious ‘Tranquility Base…’ hotel the album is based around.
