Arctic Monkeys have played Mardy Bum for the first time in four years at their Sheffield homecoming show.
Fans of the band had the privilege of seeing a rare performance of Mardy Bum at their sold-out gig in FlyDSA Arena on Friday night.
And John Cooper recited I Wanna Be Yours on stage to make concert-goers feel even more special.
John also introduced the Monkeys to the stage with a reading of his 1982 poem, I Wanna Be Yours, which the band turned into a song of the same name.
I Wanna Be Yours appears on their 2013 hit album AM.
The 43-year-old writer told the audience: Its a great honour to be here and that was my version. But it took these guys to make it go worldwide so I cant thank them enough…my favourite band.

This accomplishment meant that Arctic Monkeys maintained their perfect record of having every album hit the top spot, with previous releases Whatever People Say I Am Thats What Im Not, Favourite Worst Nightmare, Humbug, Suck It And See and AM all achieving number one.
It was even better news for frontman Alex Turner, who has also scored two extra number one albums with pal Miles Kane as The Last Shadow Puppets, with releases The Age Of The Understatement and Everything Youve Come To Expect.
