Singer RAYE brings grandmother on stage at Royal Albert Hall
British-Ghanaian singer RAYE invited her grandmother, Agatha Dawson-Amoah, onto the stage during a sold-out concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall on October 23, 2026. During the encore, Agatha recited the spoken-word line from RAYE’s hit single ‘Where Is My Husband’, a moment that has become central to the song’s identity.
Agatha, dressed in traditional kente fabric, received a standing ovation from the audience. The appearance follows RAYE’s recent win of the 2026 Mercury Prize for her album ‘This Music May Contain Hope’. The singer has a history of incorporating family members into her artistry, having previously featured her grandfather and sisters in her musical works.
