“In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.” ThinkingImportantMomentsGivenDyingDadBandMy FamilyShockMum80sYour MumMum And Dad Author:Gary Kemp
