<p>"The one thing I couldn't live without is music - I'd go mad" - Right Said Fred</p> <p>Robert Emery talks to Fred and Richard Fairbrass, the brothers better know as Right Said Fred. They talks about selling 30 million albums, how they dealt with their massive success, their struggle with depression, and how on occasion, they like to live life to the max; including buying a fridge so big it wouldn't fit inside the house! They of course also answers a quick-fire round of questions culminating in the big question; what is your most treasure possession, and what is the one thing you can't live without?</p> <p>Both Fred and Richard have been in the press recently with their not so politically correct opinions on COVID - but they also reveal they were misquoted, and set the record straight. </p> <p>They seem to have done that rare feat of keeping a successful team together for over thirty years - and also are genuinely lovely chaps with their feet firmly placed on the ground. With quotes like: </p> <p>"one of the things about lockdown that wasn't emphasised enough by politicians, who really ought to know better, is the importance of fresh air, exercise and sleeping properly. These things are so important, and particularly when it comes to depression and anxiety in people, we need to encourage people to just get outside."</p> <p><br></p> <p>To see the original web page for this episode, click here: https://rdce.news/ep16</p>
