Numan was set to perform a small number of American live dates in April 2010, including a Coachella Festival appearance in California, but had to cancel because air travel in Europe was halted by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. As a result, the tour was not only postponed but expanded, and his Pleasure Principle 30th Anniversary Tour's American and Mexican dates began on 17 October 2010, at Firestone Live in Orlando, Florida. [91] Despite his avowed atheism, the God entity makes several appearances, while on A Child With The Ghost there’s a poignant tribute to former bassist Paul Gardiner, who died in February 1984 from a heroin overdose.

In addition to what others have said, it's very significant to note in one article I've just read that the compression of the album (running time of 50 minutes originally) onto two sides in 1981 caused a compromise to the sound. I DO remember that being the case. I bought it on the day of release with a birthday token and was rather underwhelmed by it. Not exactly the most exciting album to play when it's your 15th birthday (and actually it wasn't a happy period for me so its low-key, sparse sound was depressing, have to say). Course I've grown up and am in a better place mentally now!! In 1997, Numan married Gemma O'Neill, a member of his fan club from Sidcup, south-east London. [167] [168] They have three daughters. [169] His daughter Persia, at the age of 11, contributed vocals to Numan's 2017 song "My Name Is Ruin" and appeared in its music video. [170] Numan and his family lived in Essex, [171] then Heathfield and Waldron in East Sussex, [172] and in October 2012 moved to Santa Monica, California. [173] [174]Often Dance, his fifth album in five years counting the Tubeway Army releases, makes me think of two later albums, made by musicians who have openly spoken of Numan as an inspiration - Kanye West's 808s And Heartbreak and the Smashing Pumpkins' Adore. Both West and the Pumpkins' Billy Corgan had become massively famous after years of woodshedding and then a series of higher profile breakouts. But then both death - West's mother after complications from surgery, touring Pumpkins member Jonathan Melvoin after an overdose - and drawn out romantic collapses (West's engagement, Corgan's marriage) shadowed their follow-up efforts, albums that seemed to go against all that they'd already achieved. It's an exaggeration to say that but not entirely: West's shift to singing with vocal treatments, a Roland TR-808 and a quieter approach and the Pumpkins' shift to a more audibly spacious and electronic sound with less guitar shredding all around, neither were what had gotten them to where they were at before. That is definitely the story of Dance and Gary Numan.
