Mr.S.McCulloch Dubstar Tears for Fears SAM SMITH Peter Cox 💙 Peter Gabriel They turned the whole comeback story on its head. It is NOT common for a band's second post-hiatus album to rival what made them famous to begin with but Dubstar seems to have pulled this off with "Two". U hope "Three" is in the works right now.

I loved being around Phil Spalding as he played his bass parts on Not So Manic Now, No More Talk, When You Say Goodbye and many other Dubstar tracks. I was in awe of his energy and discipline in the studio. I won't forget.

Got mine! Respect to Wesley Doyle for undertaking this labour of love. Includes contributions from me regarding 90s era when the legendary Stevo managed Dubstar Essential reading for #SomeBizzare devotees.

Most people know what Stevo and Some Bizzare got up to in the 80s, the 90s not so much. Chris’ contribution was essential to telling that part of the story, and contains some of the more eyebrow-raising stories in the whole book. Thanks Chris!

The musicianship in The Smiths is what made them, for me, the most essential band when I was growing up. Absolutely gutted to hear about the passing of Andy Rourke this morning.

Compared to most other bands, The Smiths were titans, striding above the streets and swatting planes out of the sky. If you grew up with them in the 80s, their greatness made you feel stronger in your apprehensive years. We're forever indebted. RIP Andy Rourke. There is a light..

Happy birthday Paddy MacAloon! Photographed here with me and Chris Wilkie

Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly demoralised and all hope appears to be lost, I like to remind myself that I still live in the country which gave the world Roxy Music.

Life’s too short to spend it with malignant narcissists though, isn’t it?

#NEWCASTLE These are frightening times, but let’s make the best of a bad situation and seize this moment to show the world what we already know: that this is the friendliest, happiest and most welcoming city in the UK, and solidarity means something here.

The significance of Newcastle's Riverside venue in Dubstar's story is beyond any doubt, and the value which it brought to the city and its culture is immeasurable. It was a huge honour to be asked to unveil the plaque yesterday. chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

On Thursday we proudly unveiled a plaque at the iconic Riverside venue on Melbourne Street, marking its contribution to Newcastle's musical heritage! 🎶 From 1985-1999 Riverside was the stage for unforgettable performances by Nirvana, David Bowie, Oasis, and many more.
