Rock band Bad Company announced the upcoming release of ‘Live In London’, a previously unreleased album capturing a performance at London’s O2 Arena on October 29, 2016. The album serves as a tribute to founding guitarist Mick Ralphs, whose final live performance with the band was the concert in question. Ralphs suffered a stroke shortly after the show and passed away on June 23, 2025.

Following the initial announcement, the band released a new single and music video for the track ‘Bad Company’ taken from the album. The full release is scheduled for November 13, 2026, in digital and CD formats, with a blue-colored vinyl version also planned. In the UK, a vinyl release is set for October 17 to coincide with National Album Day.
