On the new rear cover of the Frantic release, they’ve used another early period Ferry smoking a cigarette image , probably the sixth such image used in all of the artwork over the years.
He’d given up smoking by the late 80’s.

Avonmore wasn't a sales hit, but with a subsequent extensive and never-ending tour – the venues were packed to sold-out – Bryan will surely have recouped the costs of the album.

There was and is no tour for Loose Talk, as far as I know the worst-selling Ferry album. Because Bryan has most likely completely lost his voice and doesn't want to be on stage as a singer anymore.

Maybe there won't be another new album with Amalia Barratt either.

Honestly: I can live without it.

I recently saw a photo of Bryan with other well-known musicians on Facebook (VRM) at a We Are Family Foundation gig in London.

I was very shocked.

I hope Bryan is in good health. I wish him the best from the bottom of my heart !!!
