British rock icons Magnum have announced the release of the band’s final live album with founder Tony Clarkin. Recorded December 10, 2022, “Live At KK’s Steel Mill” was the memorable night when they played the final show of their European tour at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton and, as they had done on all previous nights, wowed their fans from the first to the last note.
The concert was recorded with state-of-the-art audio equipment, which later turned out to be a real blessing because it was — as we now know — the last official live recording starring Tony Clarkin. The guitarist and main songwriter died unexpectedly on January 7, 2024, just a few days before the release of Magnum‘s latest studio album, “Here Comes The Rain”.

The album presents Magnum as an enthusiastically celebrated act whose repertoire of hits, classics, and newer material could hardly be more varied. “It was the perfect evening,” recalls singer Bob Catley. “We finished our ‘The Monster Roars’ tour in Wolverhampton, KK’s Steel Mill was packed out and the promoter was a passionate Magnum fan. I couldn’t imagine a more worthy farewell to Tony than those recordings.”
Due to the huge demand and to mark the first anniversary of Clarkin‘s passing, “Live At KK’s Steel Mill” will be available via Steamhammer/SPV starting January 10, 2025, for the first time on double CD, triple LP, and for digital download.
