Beggars Archive and The Flood Gallery have announced a new collaboration to produce an ongoing series of exclusive art prints from the amazing visual archives of their legendary record company.

All art pieces will come with a ‘Beggars Arkive’ embossed stamp and will be printed as high end giclee or screen print editions. The first release will be a limited edition Gary Numan screen print with the first 150 copies signed. Future releases from the archives will be announced soon.

The Gary Numan piece was created by Michael Speed, Beggars Arkive’s in-house designer. It is an 18X24 5-color hand-screened print on 300gsm uncoated high white. The first 150 copies will be signed by Gary Numan, and authenticated by Beggars Arkive.

‪I got together with the gifted artist @BillyMorrison (who also happens to be Billy Idol’s guitar player) & collaborated on this one-off, unique painting (of me :), which is now for sale. All proceeds will be donated to the @LiveNation #CrewNation fund to support the hard working (and currently unemployed) road crews that make touring possible. 24” x 30”, signed by both Billy and myself.

I think most of you have heard about this already

I think most of you have heard about this already (I’m 8 hours behind the news over here) but the entire Drive-In series of events have been cancelled due to growing concerns about the spread of the virus. I can’t tell you how disappointing this is for me, the band and the crew. I thought it was an amazing idea, a small moment of relief in a dismal world. This is the message I received this morning:

‘The Live From The Drive In concert series will no longer proceed as planned this summer. We received huge support from artists, the live music production contractors, our headline sponsor Utilita along with our other partners, and of course you, the fans. However the latest developments regarding localised lockdowns mean it has become impossible for us to continue with the series with any confidence.

We thank everyone for their support and eagerly await a time when we can watch live music together again. Full refunds will be issued directly to all ticket holders within the next 7 days.’

‪Every single thing we do in the process of making music, from first note to final mix, is done so we can one day stand on stage, in front of a crowd, and share the experience of playing it live. Playing live is the top of the mountain, the reason for all of it. #LetTheMusicPlay ‬

Let me explain my ‘Fuck those people’ comment

Let me explain my ‘Fuck those people’ comment yesterday. First of all, it clearly referred to the people that had sent me shitty comments, and by that I don’t mean people that simply didn’t think the Drive-In shows were a good idea. I mean SHITTY comments. Here’s just one of the many delightful responses that came in after I announced the tour:

1: F**k you Numan you money grabbing c**t.

Don’t think the shows are a good idea? Fair enough (although I disagree). Think they’re too expensive? Fair enough (We all have different circumstances, and I don’t set the price anyway). Want to wait for ‘normal’ gigs to return? Fair enough (Patience is a virtue). But, if you write to me and say things like the comment above, and all you get is a ‘Fuck those people’, I think I’m demonstrating admirable restraint.

Now, as a rule, I don’t read comments. But, even though I’ve asked them not to, my children sometimes do, and they see things like the comment above. So, to avoid any misunderstanding, Fuck THOSE people.

More info on the Drive-In questions. Each day is s

More info on the Drive-In questions. Each day is split into a series of separate ‘events’. My show will be one of them. Each ‘event’ will have it’s own crowd. The cars/crowd coming to a 2pm event for example will watch that show and then leave. The artists and equipment for the 6:30pm event will then arrive and set up. Then the cars/crowd for the 6:30pm event will come in and watch that show. Then the 6:30 cars/crowd and artists leave. After that the artists and equipment for the 9pm show will arrive and so on.
It is not like a festival where you buy a ticket and have a days worth of entertainment. You will come in, see one show and leave.

As I’ve said before I think these shows are a bold and ingenious way of giving people a temporary respite from having no live shows at all. It isn’t perfect, it’s not what we want to see become the norm, but for now it’s very much better than no live music at all. I applaud the effort that’s gone in to this from everyone involved.

It clearly isn’t for everyone judging by some of the shitty comments coming my way. But, fuck those people. I’m happy to be doing it, I think it’s a good thing in a horrible time and I’m proud to be involved. My only fear, as the virus appears to be soaring again (here in the US anyway), is that it all gets cancelled or I’m suddenly banned from traveling. Trying to organise this is proving to be more difficult that my previous 40 years of touring combined, but I really want it to work. Here’s the ticket link again for my events/shows:

‪The tickets for the August/September Drive-In tour went on general sale today. Sorry for the late post. This is an artists idea of what the shows will be like. Doubt there’ll be fireworks though, and I’m the only one playing. https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/promo/lzlzwx‬
