33 years ago, on the 6th of December, I was singing Caravan of Love on Wide Awake Club, a clear message of hope, love and unity. I hope we remember all three on Thursday.

Tonight I tweeted @louis_tomlinson a congratulations on beating me in the @welcome2yorks vote. The lovely reaction I received from his fans, not only confirms a real positivity in the younger generation but also hints that if we're kind to each other on here, it's reciprocated.

To celebrate my 60th birthday (on Monday 9th May) I’d originally intended to do another bicycle tour, visiting & performing at 60 pubs across the UK & Ireland. However, due to recording delays caused by the pandemic, I’ve had to shelve these plans for the time being…

12000 smiling faces at our recent London o2 show. Sadly amongst them, a group of 4 men chose to verbally abuse 2 gay women. A message to those men- If you can't show respect, then keep your filth away. Pls notify security if you witness fellow fans being threatened in this manner

One beautiful tour- 2 times I either held back the tears or openly wept. 1] first night during Sail This Ship Alone-I'd spent 18 months thinking 'can i still sing' and realising I could, made me well up. 2] After the Palladium, Linda and I wept tears of joy. Thank's so much

Difficult to describe how nerve-racking going on early morning, live TV can be. Even harder to explain how a brilliant presenter like @billtu could make you feel at ease with a kind smile & a wink. To all @BBCBreakfast and Bill's family, I'm so sorry for your loss of a true gent.

Right back from drinking after United matches in the 80's, to The Housemartins, to TBS a/shows, to the present day's line-up with Jacqui, this venue, their staff, management & punters have been the friendliest, the most supportive & quite frankly the best. We need this place open.
Today we have received some devastating news that in 1 year's time, our Landlord is evicting us and forcing us to close. Please show your support by sharing this news & sending us your best memories that we can gather to help display all the reasons why #WeCantLoseLeadmill
