Theatre Of The Absurd Presents... (Favourite Tracks)

Madness released their 13th studio album, Theatre Of The Absurd Presents CEst La Vie, on November 17th 2023. After a disparate couple of years which saw the band at their most polarised and fragmented, Madness reunited in an industrial unit in Cricklewood at the beginning of the year, where Suggs, Mark, Chrissy Boy, Mike, Lee and Woody realised that what united them was always more significant than what divided them.
