Is She Worthy? Eels frontman addresses the Queen

• 18th Feb 2008

Mark 'E' Everett has taken the time to send a special letter of invitation to Her Majesty The Queen ahead of Eels sold out show at London's Royal Festival Hall next week (Feb 25).

In the letter E offers the Queen the chance of a guestlist, and also signed complimentary copies of his new book 'Things The Grandchildren Should Know' and compilation albums, 'Meet The Eels’ and ‘Useless Trinkets’.

E writes: “We will be playing a show at your Royal Festival Hall on the evening of February 25th and I would like to extend an invitation for you to attend our performance. We have played the Festival Hall several times and I've noticed that your royal box is usually empty. I'd like to change that.

“I recently saw the movie “The Queen” and while I know that wasn't actually you in the film, it made me think that I would like you as a person. I'd like you to be one of the people who call me “E.” If you're free February 25th, please come down to the show. It's sold out, but I would be happy to put you on the guest list.”

It is yet to be confirmed whether Lizzy will accept the offer, and indeed become one of the people who refer to Everett as 'E'.
