Madness Star Suggs Sings at Vigil for Student Stabbed to Death on Primrose Hill

Suggs sang at the tribute as hundreds gathered, while three men were charged with murder and a fourth faced related counts, police said.

  • Sullivan was fatally stabbed during a fight at the same location on April 7 while testing a new camera he received as a birthday gift.
  • Madness frontman Graham "Suggs" McPherson performed "It Must Be Love" at the event, joined by musicians Paul Weller, Kevin Rowland, Bobby Gillespie, and Glen Matlock.
  • Describing his son as "like a magnet for people," Chris Sullivan said he hoped Finbar's legacy would be "unity and love and peace."
  • Metropolitan Police have charged three men—Ernest Boateng, Alexis Bidace, and Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu—with murder, while Khalid Abdulqadir faces charges of causing grievous bodily harm.
