Drake, Lana Del Rey, Adele... Do You Know Which Club Those Musicians Support?

15 musicians and the football clubs they support

Music and football have a lot in common than most people think. The greatest players who have graced the game have compared the beautiful game to the art form of music in various ways through the years. As Ronaldinho recently wrote in The Player’s Tribune in his article ‘Letter To My Younger Self’: “When you have a football at your feet, you are free. You are happy. It’s almost like you are hearing music. That feeling will make you want to spread joy to others.”

While Zinedine Zidane heralded the intertwining of music and football in his life growing up in a poor suburb of Marseille in France. In his interview with The Guardian in 2004, he said: “I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day. Music was important. Football was the easy part.”

Football and music transcend the mind and reach the soul. Whether it’s your favourite team scoring a great goal or defending one, or a piece of melody and lyric that touches you, these little moments are the culmination of creative and hard-working minds reaching out through technology to make you feel joyous.

Not surprisingly a lot of the musicians both current and from the past have supported football teams. With the Grammy Awards coming up, we decided to put the record straight about musicians and the clubs they support. This list consists of the musicians who have supported and currently support their favourite football teams.
