Sue here. Thanks for all of your birthday messages; they say life begins at 40. Let's hope it doesn't end at 40 too! I spent the day at the hospital. My son Ned came along and surprised me with a bottle of bubbly!Ìý My cousin Derrin (who works for Â鶹Éç Online and is kindly hosting the blog while Brian's website is under construction) popped in with some special diabetic All Gold, it's not as nice but it'll do. I'm a sucker for chocolate even if it does taste like dog chocolate drops. But enough about me, what about Brian!?Ìý Well...
Brian has been to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to meet a dying climber whose last request was to meet Brian before he died.Ìý Brian flew out as soon as he got the request from the lifelong fan, but sadly arrived too late as the climber had already died of a broken neck.
Whist on a morbid note, Brian's song 'My Son's Last Breath' has been voted the fourth most popular funeral song behind 'Who Wants To Live Forever,' by Queen, 'Tears in Heaven' by Eric Clapton and 'Crocodile Rock' by Elton John.
Brian was interviewed for ES Magazine on Friday. To see the transcript, read the extended entry.
Mum will be back next week if she gets better. She worries lots and it gives her tummy twists. She keeps getting letters from Barlays which gives her the runs cos she is thousands over the overdroft limitz.Ìý Brian pern should give her some of his millions instead of giving it to peace abroad. Charity begins at home my nan said when she died of cancer. Derrin cooks my dinner and runs my bath. My dad is in burma with his girlfriend on a rescue mission. That's what he told me. Mum says he is full of bullshitz. I'm going to bed now. I am full of hate, My willy has a bogie on it. I don't know how it got there.

MY LONDON
Where do you live in London?
I am very private, so that is private.
What would you do if you were Mayor for a day?
Ban cars, pedestrianise Oxford Street and give the Homeless a £5000 business start up loan. Ban racism in the Police.
What are your extravagances?
Black cabs, first class travel, expensive wine, Blu Ray, adopting animals and buying first editions of books (I just paid £30,000 for a First Edition of Patriot Games by Tom Clancy).
What was the last gig you went to in London?
My own. And I saw the TAKE THAT show at the O2. My wife dragged me by the neck. I thought I was going to hate it and guess what - I did! I also went to the secret The Doors + Paul Rogers gig at Sound. Paul did a good job, but he's no Jim Morrison. I also went to the secret INXS + Paul Rogers gig at CoCo and the secret Clash + Paul Rogers and the secret Mel & Kim + Paul Rogers gigs at the DimbleRooms in Camden - Paul did a great job but he's no Hutchence, Strummer or Mel Appleby.
What is your life philosophy?
Think of others first, yourself second.
Do you have a favourite view of London?
No.
Which aftershave do you wear?
None. Eau de Pern.
How do you stay fit?
By doing Pilates, weight training and boxing. It's important to me to keep the balance between staying fit and keeping lean and flexible.
What are your favourite beauty products?
Guerlain bronzer, concealer from RMS beauty - a new organic line by make-up artist Rose-Marie Swift - and Nars Mykonos cream eyeshadow. My wife uses them mainly.
What have been your favourite London meals?
I know this sounds like a joke, but can't beat Nandos for Chicken and Tiffin Bites for a good curry.
What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
Any of my Azzedine Alaïa pieces. I like her shoes. I also have some old stage costumes from the Thotch days designed by Paul Smith, although I doubt I'd fit in them now.
What's the most romantic spot in London?
Highgate Cemetery, I kissed a girl there when I was 17.
What are your current projects?
I am writing a new album tentatively titled Tentively Titled and working on a soundtrack to Stephen Sodenberg's Desmond Tu Tu Biopic staring Michael Sheen, plus putting the final touches to a new Amnesty Concert to raise awareness for disappearing mushrooms and toadstools.
The Honeycomb is Over album is now available.
