On Saturday (11 June) Alicia Keys treated the audience at Manchester's AO Arena to a 30-song set, and as well as including snippets of "Plentiful", "Skydive" and more, Keys threw in a couple of covers, one of which was Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) (La Da Dee La Da Da)". Prior to her Waters cover, Keys brought out special guest Johnny Marr to cover The Smiths' "This Charming Man" in the band's hometown.
