The Enemy to be honoured for their Sky Blues anthem ‘We’ll Live And Die In These Towns.
The Enemy are to finally receive recognition for their number one album that sparked a Sky Blues anthem. Fittingly, it will be on show during a very special exhibition being staged in their home city.
The Coventry band are set to be presented with a ‘Number One’ statuette that all chart toppers are now presented with. The trio were never given one for their number one album ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Towns’.
But Warwick based chart company Kantar and Lee Hopkins stepped in and acquired an official award for the band. The statuette is set to form part of the ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Sky Blue Towns’, which is due to open at the award-winning Coventry Music Museum on Friday (February 21).

It is partially based on the song that has become an anthem among Sky Blues fans and booms around the Coventry Building Society Arena on matchdays but also explores a ‘world where football, music and Coventry all combine.’
A museum spokesperson said: “From the Sky Blue Song to the anthem of the 1987 FA Cup ‘Go For It’ and onto The Enemy’s iconic ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Sky Blue Towns’, random words that began life scrawled on a toilet wall at the Coliseum nightclub in Coventry and have now come of age and is ubiquitous at every Sky Blues home game.
