Right Said Fred did a gig outside a Durham post office – 17 too sexy takedowns
Once upon a time Right Said Fred were best known for bothering the charts a couple of times back in the early ’90s.
These days it’s their views on vaccines and wearing a mask, fondness for conspiracy theories and the occasional hilarious self-own on Twitter that is more likely to get them attention.
We mention them here because the brothers have just gone viral again after playing a gig outside a post office in Durham. And say what you like about Right Said Fred, you can never accuse them of selling out.
Well, some meanie fun-sponge blocked me after I quote tweeted their video of Far Right Said Fred playing to the seething, adoring masses in Durham City.

Why do they have a barrier up? I thought they were against distancing. https://t.co/iT6HOMpy8b

😂😂I assume the red barrier was to stop the hoards of fans invading the stage I mean pavement. I bet that women with a mask wound them up. 😂

I see Right Said Fred have reached the 'Don Estelle in a shopping centre' part of their career.
