We also dive into the deep challenges, including personal tragedy, and how the unshakable pull of songwriting brought him back stronger than ever.Alan talks openly about the influence of George Michael, Spandau Ballet, and 80s icons, the importance of really listening to music in today's fast-paced world, and how nostalgia for record shops and vinyl still fuels his passion. He also reveals how one track called Unknown unexpectedly became a game-changer through a sync deal years after its release.This is a conversation about creativity, loss, resilience, and rediscovering joy through music — plus a reminder of why we should slow down and actually listen.

She reflects on the challenges of writing an autobiography at this stage in her career and the whirlwind of finding fame at such a young age. Debbie explains how she hustled her way into the music industry by performing in small clubs, the sacrifices she made to protect her artistic integrity, and the pressure she faced from record producers to change her style. She also opens up about how touring has evolved over the years, how fame affected her when she was young, and what it was like to meet her musical heroes, including Elton John, George Michael, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston.Get it on.FOR MORE TOM PELPHREY:TV SHOW: Task - September 7, 2025 on HBOINSTAGRAM: @tommypelphreyTWITTER: @tompelphreyFOR MORE WITH DEBBIE GIBSON: BOOK: Eternally Electric - Available Sept 9, 2025NEW SONG: Legendary TOUR: "Newstalgia Live Greatest Hits & Beyond"INSTAGRAM: @debbiegibson Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code ADAM at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/ADAM #BruntpodHomes.comMASAChips.com/CAROLLAoreillyauto.com/ADAMSIMPLISAFE.COM/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: September 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Madame Debra Shaw wanted to see Paris. So she entered a model competition that enabled her to. In Paris, she walked for Thierry Mugler. Then she channelled Diana Ross in Mahogany for Gianfranco Ferre at Dior. Meeting Alexander McQueen and John Galliano taught Shaw the strategy of moving arms and legs in rhythmic dance. Just make it catwalk. The legendary supermodel used music from Billy Joel, George Michael and A Tribe Called Quest to understand how to sell the product, plus move elegantly throughout her life. Alongside DJ Fat Tony, Debra Shaw recounts how she gave her Princess Bundi, Dorothy Dandridge and Masai goddess catwalk characters from 90s Galliano energy: by controlling their narratives. She also raids Diana's closet. Listen closer to discover which Diana. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joining me today is Simon Merry. With over 25 years of experience Simon Merry is one of the UK's most in demand drummers. His style and professionalism has been sought after over the years for touring and recording by such artists as: George Michael, Ronan Keating, Boy George, Natalie Imbruglia, Gene Pitney, Olly Murs, Sophie Ellis Bextor, One Direction, Gary Kemp, Paul Young, Boyzone, Bananarama, Go West and Rick Astley. Join us for a fascinating conversation as we pick through some of the amazing highlights of his remarkable career so far. We of course talk about his gig with the legend that is Rick Astley (also a mean drummer as many of you will have seen) Simon also tells us how he got the Gene Pitney gig as a teenager, Simons dad was Gene's musical director and offerd the gig to Simon, not without a proper auduition first though, so certainly no favours and he had to and indeed did deliver the goods until Pitneys death in 2006. Simon, thank you for an absoloutely fascinating conversation! www.simonmerry.com

Outward is going on a little summer break, in the meantime we're leaving you with a delightfully queer episode of Slate's Hit Parade with Chris Molanphy called Mighty Real. This is part two—catch part one in our previous episode. Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan.
