Absolute Queen. Tina sat waiting patiently in the stalls of the Wimbledon Theatre during rehearsals for the Princess Trust concert. No demands. No pulling rank. She waited a long time till it was her turn, then showed her ‘backing band’ below how it was done. Class personified🙏

How can one party find so many members who are devoid of empathy, soul and caring yet so full of shit and abject evil? The only success they seem to have had is to succeed at being utterly repugnant….

It is depressing to see someone talk about the deportation of refugees with such happiness. For it to be the Home Secretary is repulsive.

I was born in a tenement slum with no heating and an outside toilet. This fuckwit has never experienced anything other than privilege. How dare he comment on food banks besides maybe claiming to be partly responsible for their creation!
My wife caught her finger in a car door last week so we popped into a ‘walk in clinic’ in Santa Monica to have the dressing changed. They tried to sell us an X-ray. They tried to sell us antibiotics. They took the old dressing off and put a new one on. $160.00. Treasure our NHS!

Wherever I hear someone say “Vienna”, the voice inside my head say “that means nothing to me”, I try not to say it out loud, but sometimes I can’t help myself.
Anyone else?
A demented being laughing in front of a concentration camp? What a sad excuse for a human.

Remember, it is all right-wing pro-Tory papers on this trip.
Suella must have approved this image.
This government is beyond shameful.
A year which saw a return to live music, a goodbye to The Queen, the continued quagmire that is Brexit, Putins madness, ‘heat or eat’ and ‘strike for a living wage’…not many positives but we can only hope that 2023 might bring more of the good stuff. Wishing everyone the best NY

As the world's most liveable city is named as Vienna, organisers say there’s been a mistake and it's actually been pipped to number 1 by Joe Dolce.
Shit…. There’s a spare!!!!

“Brexit was a travesty and people are waking up to that now.”
Blur frontman Damon Albarn tells @MinnieStephC4 Brexit has been “a disaster for younger musicians”, saying it's now more expensive for them to tour in Europe.

Dreadful news🙏 Terry Hall of The Specials dies aged 63
Disgracefully dealt with by the UK government. A multi billion £ industry hung out and left to die. The arts seen as flippant by the minority.

UK based bands have faced all sorts of issues with European tour dates - Now artists from the EU are being hit with complex and unfathomable rules that are seeing them turned back - cancelling shows and incurring costs
Dreadful news. Janice stood with us on the pitch at Wembley stadium as we announced Live Aid. A broadcast legend and absolute music lover. 🙏 BBC DJ and broadcaster Janice Long dies at 66
What is it with people in an audience checking their phones during a performance? Besides the fact we can see you lighting up like a torch in a dark auditorium it's so unbelievably rude to the performers and all the people sitting around you.

Groundbreaking release from my friend Hideo Kojima.

This is dreadful news. 🙏 Ryuichi Sakamoto: Japanese electronic music maestro dies.
Sometimes I can't quite believe moments like this are part of my history.....Tokyo 1979.
'The warmth of your hand in the cold grey sky'...... Thanks to everyone who made this seismic moment happen 🙏
35 years ago at this very moment..Just cleared the studio of all the artists, started mixing the track and had 8 hours left to finish the A side and assemble the B side and get it to the pressing plant or the vinyl wouldnt be ready to send to the retailers/public in time. Long🌌
Step 1 taken towards getting back in the same room/field/world together. Voice&Visions Tour 2022🙏
Now I have it in my hands I'm taken aback by the outstanding care that has gone into this 40th anniversary box set release of the Vienna album. Amazing work all round. I'm feeling strangely proud 🙏
While half the planet are out getting smashed to celebrate....... I'm celebrating by not going out....Happy New Year!
Just noticed it’s 43 years ago today since this was released.
Come and hear quite a bit of it live on October 4th at The Royal Albert Hall.
Vienna and Albert…a match made in heaven🙏
Lunch today with good friend Hideo Kohima. Always great to catch up and experience his amazing creativity and imagination. Exciting times indeed.
All in one day, when the people came and stood together….🙏

I can't describe the absolute horror of waking up to find the creepy, privileged, arrogant Reece Mogg has kept his seat in North Somerset. It's like being in a particularly dark episode of Black Mirror. May whichever God you believe in look out for us all
If Zelensky (former comedian) can fight the might of the Russian Army, Lineker ( former footballer) might just just bring down this joke of a government!
Met up with 'Metal Gear Solid' creator Hideo Kojima tonight. Very exciting things to come from him!
Irrespective of religions,I wish a great festive season to you,your friends and your loved ones.The haters will always hate and the believers will always believe,the hopers will always hope.Thats just the way it is.Have a wonderful, peaceful and safe 2020.
The man next to me on the flight from Amsterdam to Copenhagen is reading this. Sad to see we are viewed this way by our neighbours. Brought to our knees by our own charlatans…#brexitbrokeit
My heart goes out to Paul Young and his family at the passing of his beautiful wife Stacey today. All our thoughts and love are with you at this dreadfully sad time.
Dreadful news. A band throughly ripped off by everything bad about the music industry. The biggest band in the world for a time and nothing to show for it. 🙏

Very proud of my youngest daughter Flossie who made the decision that, whilst still pursuing a career as an actor in these extremely difficult and uncertain times, that studying her craft at Bristol Uni would be a positive move until the Arts world opens up again. 2020 student 🙏
Well I for one admit to verbally kicking him before he was down! Unfit to lead. Unfit to govern. Unable to tell the truth.

It’s easy to kick a person when they’re down. I regard Matt Hancock as a friend. We’re all human, with the frailties & imperfections of humanity. Of course those of us who make the rules must adhere to them. There’s no leeway. But: Let him who is without sin cast the first stone

Just woke to hear the news about Paul O’ Grady’s passing. What a lovely, funny man he was. I was doing the Big Breakfast way back in the day when I heard this Liverpudlian voice behind me say, ‘Oow Midge Ure, my sister loves you. She’s suck your socks right off’ It was Lily S 🙏
Just about to take the stage in The Theatre Royal Brighton. Voice and Visions Tour.
Very sad to hear this. An underrated, talented musician, songwriter and video artist. The Monkees star Michael Nesmith dies at 78

I learned the other week that Ure had never been to Vienna before he wrote the song
Please wear a mask when ever possible. I don't want to be responsible for giving it to someone else and it's certainly THE GIFT I really don't want from anyone 😉 keep staying safe...
After offering my window seat to a family, in order for them to all sit together, I took the seat they were sitting in, only to find it wasn’t their seat in the first place, so I now find myself in the middle of a row of three which I try to avoid at all costs! Aarrrggh.
A beautiful last day of a dreadful year. Who knows what 2021 will bring. Whatever it is stay safe🙏
Number 9 in the UK charts today.... The original 'Do they know its Christmas'... Who would have thought? Thank you on behalf of the Band Aid Trust.
If my math is correct my Dad would have been 100 years old today. Still loved, much missed.
It's been a busy isolating birthday week. Kitty on the left a few days ago and Flossie on the right, 21 today. Sunshine and love. I'm a lucky man 🙏
A huge thank you to everyone who sent birthday greetings. They are much appreciated. Hopefully we will be back to something resembling some form of normality by the time the next one rolls around. Stay safe to keep others safe 🙏
I love coming to Dublin. I get to see pictures from my past I've never seen before. Here I am messing around with the uncrowned King of Ireland.
He might not be here physically anymore but he’s still with me everything I think, do or say. Happy Father’s Day🙏
Two friends who left us on this day many years ago. Still loved, still missed.
Hi all. Ultravox were a band with changes in line up….. not a competition🙏
Robbie was a lovely man. We spent a few days together in Glasgow filming this. He was gracious enough to put up with my amateur 6th form acting. Fond memories. RIP big guy 🙏
Very proud of daughter Ruby getting a 2-1 in English and American studies....now if she could just become Prime Minister or President we all might have a better future🎓😉

1. Didn't know you could still sing like that.
2. Didn't know you played guitar.
3. Didn't know you wrote Fade to Grey.
4. Didn't know you wrote Yellow Pearl.
