Son of ‘Rats’ member to sing in church

CHOIR singing and the Boomtown Rats rarely go hand in hand, but the son of one of the band members is set to sing for the royal couple in Westminster Abbey today.

Luciano Cusack, son of former Rat bass player, Pete Briquette, and one of the 32 pupils at the exclusive Westminster Abbey Choir School, will be part of the choir singing for Prince William and Kate Middleton as they walk up the aisle.

Speaking on RTÉ radio, Pete, originally from county Cavan but living in west London, said his 12-year-old has been working hard in preparation for today’s event.
