truly talented

I'm so proud. @sportrelief is back! DO YOURSELF #proud now & sign up to #SR16 po.st/SRsignup https://mobile.twitter.com/willyoung/status...649484180996096 :lol: at the colour of his hands.

All vinyl Aladdin Sane Hunky Dory Ziggy Stardust Young Americans Pin Ups Diamond Dogs Lodger Let's Dance Hunky Dory best for me, though Aladdin Sane and Ziggy come close.

I grew up with Bowie, such an innovative artist that has spanned the generations and no doubt an influence on so many others. I haven't listened to much of his recent music but have all his earlier albums. Hunky Dory in my opinion is a masterpiece.

Could well be a clue to Will's next acting project.

Yes as he's said many times before it's his passion as well as his work. Music has always been a huge part of his life.

Again thanks to Diz. Lovely comments and a link to photos from Will's Swindon gig.

He's steeped in music isn't he.

Thanks to Diz for spotting this. We've heard him speak about some of these albums before but this article again highlights Will's eclectic music taste. Probably goes a long way in explaining why he most certainly isn't your run of the mill pop star. Baker's Dozen Evergreen Thirteen: Will Young's Favourite Albums Ian Wade , January 6th, 2016 10:09 Following the release of his sixth album, 85% Proof, last year the singer-songwriter changes into some comfortable trousers and talks Ian Wade through his 13 all-time favourite records Will Young is very good at what he does and is a great pop star. While it may seem customary to be a bit sneery towards anyone who has gone through the ranks of the TV talent competition, to do so does quite a few amazing people a massive disservice, and, to be honest, life is far too short. Young, however, has managed to steer a course through showbiz and respectability, cultivating a career of some 15 years now, with six albums - four of which went to no. 1, the other two settling for runner-up position - a string of theatre and film credits, as well as a reputation for being a jolly decent sort. (Actually, he could probably burn churches down and eat puppies whole in his spare time, but there's no sign of those activities today). He's now back and touring after having a few years off, with last year's really very good album, 85% Proof, adding to his arsenal of crackers, such as the Richard X-produced 'Jealousy' (in fact, the whole Echoes album is banging), 'Leave Right Now', 'Your Game' and 'All Time Love'. So, as I say, Will Young is a very busy man. Within seconds of saying hello, he's changing out of the trousers of televised promotional opportunities, and into the more relaxing and casual attire of someone about to discuss their favourite records. Interesting how Will thinks of himself as a clean singer. Not an adjective I would have chosen but know exactly what he means. Also interesting to read of the influence of Roisin Murphy's singing style on Jealousy.

Still tweeting in the New Year then.

85% Proof makes the top 100 albums of 2015 :cheer: 76 - 76 - 87,000 - 87,000 - Will Young - 85 Proof - 06/06/15 - 1 I know sales are way down on previous albums but I think given Will's lengthy break, poor AirPlay and limited tv promotion this is a huge achievement. He's an established artist who can now continue to make music and tour for as long as he wants alongside his other projects.

Absolutely delighted to receive an email to say I've won the signed Newcastle set list. :yahoo: :dance: :w00t:

Thanks Ros. Out watching the football but will tune into listen again.

Week Ending 27th December Nice to see we managed to stay top 10. :D

I'm very surprised it hasn't been scrapped. Unless WWF are receiving lots of donations I can't see the point for both them or Will. Very odd campaign.

So this is getting an official release :unsure: Posted on Will's Facebook.

Will's kept his promise. @willyoung thank you so much for visiting my daughter Emily at JR this morning you made her Christmas. Xx sister had a visit from Will Young at her hospital today what a throwback

35. Will Young - 85% Proof Will Young had the tough job of following his strongest release, 85% Proof manages it effortlessly.

Tweeted and on Facebook & Instagram. Happy and proud and rightfully so. :wub: Being creative & fulfilled by his work is Will's driving force. He must love the freedom the new label and management have afforded him. Will definitely dances to his own tune.

I would have loved that too. Previous ones have been hilarious. They seem to have the same off the wall sense of humour.

85% Proof makes Peter at Popjustice's top 33 albums of the year. http://www.popjustice.com/articles/the-top...of-2015/140057/

Week Ending 20th December Could be a bit quiet on the Will front for a while but we've had a good run. :D

#91 this week.

I agree and to me she isn't very personable.
