Fans already queuing for Fall Out Boy's London show tonight have been sent pizza by the band.

Fall Out Boy are playing a one-off UK show at Camden's Underworld as part of their comeback shows and, despite doors not opening until 7, fans have already started queuing.

According to fans on Twitter, the band bought everyone in the queue pizza from the pizza shop next door to the venue.

Leanne Sturrock wrote, "Fall Out Boy have just sent us all pizza ahhh," and Sophie Kingsnorth tweeted, "So, Fall Out Boy bought us pizza and I am going to cry jfc."

Fall Out Boy are playing a single UK show before continuing on to Paris, Berlin, Sydney and Melbourne. The band are then playing a US tour in May, before appearing at Reading and Leeds festivals in August.

As Camden's Underworld has only a 500 capacity, many fans were not able to get tickets - particularly following issues with the ticket site used.

The band addressed the controversy on their website, writing, "We'd rather play to 10 excited people than 30,000 who are disappointed at having to pay 2 months rent to be there. We're not saying this to fix PR or because we want to protect the "Integrity," of our "Brand name," but because we're fans of music ourselves and we remember getting screwed by scalpers too.

"To anybody who managed to get legitimate tickets to our shows, we're so excited to see you. To the rest of you; We plan on being a band for a long time. Hopefully this isn't your only chance to see us and hopefully by the time you do, there’s some better way to fight back against scalping."
