Eighteen years after stepping away from The Audience and launching a solo career (and of course putting down the vocal for Spiller’s ‘Groovejet’) Sophie Ellis-Bextor played the biggest show of her career. She took to the stage of a sold out Royal Festival Hall alongside a 30-strong orchestra to perform a career-spanning set of big hits. Burak Cingi was there to capture all action both on and off the stage in this exclusive behind the scenes gallery.
