Gary Numan appeared to break down with emotion during a gig at Birmingham’s 02 Academy on Saturday, saying that it was because he had received the “worst news ever”.
The 67-year-old is currently on a tour commemorating the 45th anniversary of his 1980 album, Telekon, and it was whilst performing Please Push No More from that album that he had to halt the set temporarily. His wife Gemma came on stage to comfort him. After collecting himself, Numan continued, explaining that that morning he had been given “the worst news ever.”
