“I’ll be signing some of the new records too.”

Gary recently released Waiting for the Band from his new LP,  after lead single Ahead of the Game and Too Much. 

And while the tune features “elements” of his iconic ’80s group, Gary tells Retro Pop he isn’t “sitting around waiting for the band to get back together”.

“It’d be nice if we just spoke to each other,” he quipped. “Some of us still talk, some of us don’t…

“I can’t see us getting together now.”

‘INSOLO’ is available to pre-order on CD and LP. Signed CDs are also available.
