Literally googled Richard Ashcroft mumsnet to see if anyone had commented on him...
Omg. Crush from the 90s is back, big time after seeing him at the Oasis concert. Just booked to see him in March!
What a stage presence, cheekbones, voice, lyrics....plus, married for 30 years "people wanted me to become this cliched Keith Richards, Iggy Pop character. I wasn't expected to marry a beautiful wife and have kids."
Stopped tours to be a more present dad when his kids were growing up.
Has William Blake as an inspiration!
Lyrically he is a genius
Might be the coolest stage presence ive ever seen
The celebration of love in his newer songs is such an antidote to all the stresses around at the moment and his hook/sampling of old classics is reminiscent of Brian Wilson
Went down a rabbit hole of old videos and after "Song for the Lovers" I couldn't sleep 🔥
Anyway, back to work thank you for indulging me 🤣
