Lulu appeared tearful after her performance at the BBC Proms on Saturday night. The iconic Scottish singer took to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall to perform her own James Bond theme, The Man with the Golden Gun, during a concert dedicated to 007.
The evening was presented by Nick Mohammed and featured timeless Bond classics such as Goldfinger, Nobody Does It Better, and Diamonds Are Forever. The BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Daniel Bartholemew-Poyser, performed the instantly recognisable theme tunes alongside special guest singers.
Fans React to Lulu's Performance

One fan noted that Lulu "Seemed emotional at the end there," and another commented, "Best singer so far…go on Lulu!" A different viewer shared, "I detected another voice besides Lulu's, but a decent performance nevertheless." The crowd cheered and applauded as Lulu stood on stage with tears in her eyes after her performance.
Lulu's Mental Health Advocacy
In a recent interview on ITV's Lorraine, Lulu opened up about her one-night-only concert at the Royal Albert Hall, with all proceeds going to Lulu's Mental Health Trust. She explained that well-known guests supporting her on stage have also faced their own mental health issues.
"I've got superstar guests and all the money from the proceeds will go to mental health issues because I want to say, there's no shame, and you don't have to do this alone," she told the ITV host. Lulu also revealed, "I'm an alcoholic in recovery. I've talked about it in my book, that I haven't had a drink since 2013. I'd never talked about it before because I wanted to keep it private."
BBC Proms is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
