I love his music (well a lot of it... He's had some dodgy albums) and he seems like a sweetheart and a very sincere guy. He has absolutely gorgeous dogs too and is an animal lover.
I've admired him since his Tubeway Army days, when he released Are friends electric? It is great that he is still making music. One of his more recent songs My name is ruin, features vocals from his daughter Persia. I hope she decides to follow in his footsteps.
