Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant has said seeing an old copy of Smash Hits magazine in a vintage shop inspired him to move into classical music.
The 70-year-old, who was once an editor at the magazine, will release classical album Sleep Of Reason alongside Mark Springer on April 25, after the pair got in touch with each other after Tennant read an old review of Springer’s Rip Rig And Panic, which also featured singer Neneh Cherry.
