Cool guy or what? I mean, if you only had to watch and hear him sing? I give you Avalon etc.

Yes. Very cool. Once he couldn’t do a concert because he was ill, he did a replacement one some time later and ticket holders had the option to go to it, and during that concert he came down from the stage and walked around the aisles. Swoon.

Charley1988 · 20/10/2019 04:09

Yes he's gorgeous and has made some excellent songs

Roxy Music - my first ever big gig (a long time ago 😁)

DonKeyshot · 20/10/2019 05:39

Always thought he was totally up himself a tad pretentious but that doesn't stop Love Is The Drug being a great song.

fairydustandpixies · 20/10/2019 06:24

Have always adored him. Saw him live at an open air concert one summer, eek, 20yrs ago! How is that a thing, when did I get old enough to say that?! (Remember because I was massively pregnant with DS2!) *heads off to Spotify...

Monty27 · 20/10/2019 06:38

Yeh I thought he was gorgeous when I was a kid. Then his fox hunting Tory son hit the news he's and I CBA to even care to research his political leanings.
I still smile to myself when I hear his music though

longwayoff · 20/10/2019 06:39

Ooh NO. Not at all. Nor his fox hunting son.

Passionaria · 20/10/2019 08:05

Blush Can't resist singing along in ridiculous bleating sheep voice, sounding like an idiot. Oohhh, the thrill of it all.

ForalltheSaints · 20/10/2019 08:07

Excellent singer and has a sense of style. Disagree with his views on fox hunting though.

Samcro · 20/10/2019 08:08

he was very cool. love a bit of Roxy.

TheCanterburyWhales · 20/10/2019 08:11

The lounge lizard!
Way way back a male friend of ours let slip if he wanted to pull he'd whack the Avalon album on (a record! on a record player!)
BF my 80 yr old mum's big crush. Twatty son though.

TheCanterburyWhales · 20/10/2019 08:12

Didn't Jerry Hall bin him for Mick? She's the one howling on one of the songs iirc?

Sarcelle · 20/10/2019 08:13

Saw him recently at the Palladium. Cool guy. Cool audience including lots of stylish overseas people (Italians etc) who seemingly flew in especially to see him.

Also sat next to him at a hairdressers. He is a big unit, really tall and imposing, very polite. He got festooned with lots of free products. I didn't. ☹️

MaidenMotherCrone · 20/10/2019 08:17

I always thought he looked like he needed a good wash.

Rockbird · 20/10/2019 08:18

Please put (not dead) in titles! Grin

dayswithaY · 20/10/2019 08:40

Ha ha! That's what I always think - he's dead??

lazylinguist · 20/10/2019 08:42

I always found him a bit greasy and creepy looking, personally.

Kittenbittenmitten · 20/10/2019 08:45

Laughing at "big unit." He does look tall but because he's quite suave and sophisticated, I've never seen him that way. Grin I love him. Roxy Music's version of Jealous Guy is one of my favourite songs.

Bezalelle · 20/10/2019 08:46

He's cool but his son is a willy.

SmellMySmellbow · 20/10/2019 08:47

Had breakfast with him once, randomly. Nice bloke. Quite unassuming and pleasant.

Dieu · 20/10/2019 08:53

More Than This is an amazing song.

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2019 08:58

Just famous person's name in thread title=dead. Phew.

Ponoka7 · 20/10/2019 09:03

"He's cool but his son is a willy."

Brian is a Conservative and pro hunting. He thinks his Son should be able to break the law. He was dropped as a M&S model because of his praising of Naxi propaganda films and imagery and starting to use strange nazi terminology. He likes women at least 35 years his junior.

He seems like another knobhead tbh.
