Why that
“Quite often the first time kids see their music heroes play live, is with a parent. My experience is no different, it’s just that I didn’t get to see my idols, The Violent Femmes, until a few years ago. When I took my Dad.”
Who cares
Since reading sci-fi novel Vurt, Sophie’s been a big fan of feathers – they’re lucky apparently. It’s best to keep good luck charms nearby, so she even got herself inked with two feather tattoos.
The details are decidedly sketchy, but Sophie once found herself sitting on a four-poster bed in Matt Goss’s flat, drinking tea. Might she just have inspired the Bros hit ‘When will I be famous?’ We can’t answer that.
