The Black Eyed Peas wouldn’t exist without Scotland, maintains founding member apl.de.ap, whose adoptive father hails from this country. And arena audiences are what bandmate Taboo credits with bringing him back from cancer. Eight years after they last toured the UK, the hip-hop pop juggernaut are back sans singer Fergie, the urgency of their speechifying about immigration, gun control and the state of the world only compromised by their crashing commercial crassness and tendency towards saccharine naffness.
