History

On This Day

1994

Neil and Chris happen upon George Michael at the Rio de Janeiro airport. Afterward they have, in Neil's own words, 'a riotous time on the plane.'

2011

The first of two whole days back-to-back they spend working on 'Hold On.' Meanwhile, an exhibition opens at the Royal Academy in Piccadilly, London, for which various celebrities have contributed items that represent to them personal happiness. Neil has contributed a poster he got at a 1972 'Ziggy-era' David Bowie concert, which was subsequently autographed at the stage door by both Bowie and his guitarist Mick Ronson. As Neil says, it made him 'very happy.'

Passion and love and sex and money
Violence, religion, injustice and death

Girls, boys, art, pleasure
Girls, boys, art, pleasure

Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

Food, cars, travel
