I must ask you to avoid in-person autograph and selfie requests at all concerts for the foreseeable future. This to to reduce the risk of any of us becoming infected and then having to cancel upcoming shows as a result.
Great to see you, as always, but it is not yet the time for up-close scribbles, hugs and selfies. UPDATE: Due to the increasing backlog of postal autograph requests from fans and the renewed level of my touring and promotional activity, I am unable to undertake to do further signings.
We ask you to cease sending photos, letters, album covers etc for the foreseeable future. Any such unsolicited material sent to the previous, or any other address will, regretfully, not be returned and therefore lost to you. At some time in the future, if and when I can resume additional office work, I will let you know. Here you can listen to the latest tracks Ian Anderson is featured as a special guest on.
His latest guest appearance was on "Peace 4 Ukraine" with Shchedryk. Adrian Partington conducted the five choirs of the cathedral with Jonathan Hope on organ and Nia Llewelyn Jones leading the junior choir. Adrian and John recorded the full concert in the historic cathedral early in and this disc is available from the Gloucester Cathedral shop. The lyrical subject matter was the topic of runaway population growth. Now, 47 years later, you have the chance to add your voice to the single most pressing problem facing future generations.
From increases in global population, all other danger factors threatening our species, including climate change, continue to accrue. Apart from the odd rogue asteroid or black hole, of course. In my lifetime alone, the population of the planet has slightly more than tripled. Yes - in one generation! I have been a supporter of Population Matters for some years - ever since the venerable and much-loved David Attenborough became visibly the first person of real media presence to come out, unafraid to discuss the issues of population growth in our times.
