The pair were busy moving belongings for the night between the car and their home, including a large gray blanket.

This came after Max revealed that he is of black descent, after fans raised concerns about his very dark tanned skin, and after trolls criticized his dark tanned skin.

In June, he wrote on Instagram: ‘My great-grandfather and my grandmother are of black descent.’

Max and Maisie are preparing for their The War Of Worlds: The Spirit Of Man Tour, which kicks off in 2025.

The series was created by Jeff Wayne and is a musical version of the 19th century science fiction book of the same name by H.G. Wells.

The story is one of the first to depict a conflict between humanity and an alien race.

The novel is the first-person story of an unnamed protagonist from Surrey and his younger brother who flee to Tillingham in Essex as London and southern England are attacked by Martians.

The War Of Worlds is one of the most talked about books in the history of the science fiction genre.
