Olly Alexander performed an emotional rendition of the hit Years & Years song Shine alongside an inclusive new choir. It marked his first live performance of the updated version, which was delivered with the support of The Absolut Choir.
Made up of trans rights advocate Kenny Ethan Jones, disability champion Sian Lord, body positivity advocate Nyome Nicholas-Williams, Trans Voices Choir directors Coda Nicolaeff, ILĀ Sebastian and its members and creatives from the Trans Creative Collective (TCC), the group is aiming to amplify the voices of those trying to create change across the UK.
