Watch Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox cover AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’ in costume for Halloween ‘Sunday Lunch’ special

Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox have covered AC/DC‘s ‘Highway To Hell’ for a Halloween-edition of Sunday Lunch.

The married couple first started the series as a creative outlet in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 lockdowns, but has continued ever since then due to its enduring popularity.

So far, they’ve tackled some of rock music’s most iconic hits from their kitchen, including Iggy & the Stooges’ ‘Search & Destroy’, Alice Cooper’s ‘Poison’, INXS’ ‘Devil Inside’, and Blink-182‘s ‘Dammit’.

Last Halloween, the duo took on David Bowie’s ‘Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)’ – which Fripp originally played lead guitar on, and this time around, they have returned to drop a cover of the AC/DC classic.

For their rendition of the 1979 hit, the King Crimson icon and the ‘80s pop star get into the Halloween spirit by performing in costume, with Willcox wearing heavy eye makeup and a crown, while Fripp plays guitar dressed as the Demon Nun from The Conjuring 2.

“Welcome to Toyah and Robert’s really frightening and incredibly scary Sunday Lunch. Grr!” Fripp says from behind his mask, while a blooper clip at the end also shows him playing a wrong note and exclaiming: “Bollocks!”. Check it out below.

The latest episode of the Sunday Lunch series comes after the two of them paused the channel earlier this year after revealing that Fripp suffered a heart attack.

Suffering from chest pains he thought was acid reflux, the King Crimson icon was taken to hospital in Bergamo, where he was tested and admitted to intensive care before undergoing two bouts of emergency surgery.

Fripp went on to say that he was diagnosed with a trifurcated artery, and had a pair of stents inserted during the two operations.

While he cannot be seen in the latest video, the guitarist does seem to be in good health during the rendition of the AC/DC classic.

In an interview with NME ahead of their slot at Worthy Farm in 2023, Wilcox spoke on the series’ enduring popularity and future at the time, and how the future looked.

“At the moment our social media numbers are growing. So as long as those audiences are there and that kind of pull is there, we’ll keep going,” she told us. “But I will not watch him do anything that makes his health suffer. At the moment though, he is utterly remarkable, his playing is remarkable.”
