Get Out! GAY Magazine – Issue 372 – June 20, 2018

You’re set to perform
in several gay venues
in New York as a
prelude for Pride.
During your meet
and greets, what will
you tell your fans is
the highlight of your
career thus far?
“Set to perform,” LOL!
Put that way, it sounds
like I’ll be oiled up,
fluffed and putting on
quite a show! “Hey,
I’m very open minded,
Mr. Demille,” and
anything’s possible! But,
alas, I’ll just be singing
a few tunes to make
the audience swoon
a bit, LOL. Anyone
wants to meet a tall,
blonde, English guy
and hear a few stories,
they’re very welcome.
I adore meeting new,
interesting people, and
I must say they’ll have
to excuse me asking
and being interested
in their daily lives. New
York is a brand-new
experience for me. New
Yorkers are infinitely
fascinating to me. I’m
sure there’ll be a few
new songs written
about the colorful
characters I meet in
NYC.
I think my “Prince”
story is still astounding
when I think about it.
But there are many,
many highlights to
come, and not just in
my hair, so here’s a
sincere invitation to
everyone: Come join
me and let’s make some
new ones, some really
fun memories.
How did you get the
name, “The James
Bond of the Music
World”?
I use a little fun
anecdote when on
stage: “I’ve been
tagged ‘The James
Bond of the Music
World,’ and whilst, yes,
I’m English, contrary
to popular belief I’m
not part of the secret
service, and it’s not
because I’m particularly
good looking, but
I WILL steal your
girlfriend and smash up
your car.” LOL! Most
people who’ve seen
the show and have
heard that a few times
now roll their eyes and
yawn.
Truth of the matter
is that an incredibly
warm, funny, bonkers
journalist I first met
sitting over a dirty
martini in Camden
Town, London, said I
was an English charmer
with a mischievous
edge, “just like James
Bond.” She coined the
phrase, and it stuck.
Interestingly, that was
December time, and
it’s given me a palette
of all kinds of imagery
and ideas to work with.
I just want some of his
fantastic gadgets now.
You have a new single
to be released June
25, the day after
Pride. Tell us about
it and what it is
regarding.
“Grand Illusion” is my
Bond theme. I would
ask every single person
reading this, if you ever
wanted to do yourself
a BIG favor, get it, stick
it on, turn it up LOUD
and wait for the first
power chords! it’ll blow
your f’king head off!
It’s about overcoming
people, those who want
to bring you down and
think they’re the better
of you, but no, you’re
smarter and you’re the
illusionist and creator
of your own destiny. A
cool, powerful destiny.
