Hard-Fi star dedicates Glasto gig to late mum

Hard-Fi frontman Richard Archer has dedicated his band's secret Glastonbury set to his late mother.

The 'Cash Machine' rockers were scheduled to perform at the Somerset festival two years ago, but were forced to pull out when Archer's mother fell ill and later passed away.

However, the Surrey band returned to the festival to make an emotional Glastonbury debut on Saturday night.

Archer told The Sun: "It felt like unfinished business going back. It was quite daunting. Last time my mum had gone in for a kidney transplant. We thought her life would be transformed, but I got a call to say there had been complications.

"She died not long after. It's heartbreaking that she never got a chance to see what I have achieved. I dedicated the gig to her and the next album will be for her too."
