UK Eurovision Act Look Mum No Computer Welcomes Baby Son Weeks Before Vienna

The timing helps explain his light promo schedule before May’s contest.

Overview

  • Sam Battle, who performs as Look Mum No Computer, announced Friday on Instagram that his son, Max, was born, and BBC Eurovision posted public congratulations.
  • Peers and fans reacted across social media, with Belgian entrant Essyla praising the baby and many supporters saying the birth explains his recent no‑shows at Eurovision pre‑parties.
  • The UK musician remains set to perform “Eins, Zwei, Drei” for Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, with semi‑finals on May 12 and 14 and the Grand Final on May 16, and no schedule changes have been announced.
  • The song’s German refrain and lines seen as digs at British culture have split opinion, while former UK winner Katrina Leskanich called the entry “clever, cheeky and fun.”
  • Battle is an experimental electronic artist known for DIY synthesizer projects and viral builds on YouTube, a background that shaped interest in his unconventional Eurovision bid.
