Gary Numan (2021)
English musician, singer, songwriter an producer Gary Numan has seen just about anything in his illustrious career that spans over 45 years.

He also saw some lows as not every album reached its commercial expectations, but with his previous album Savage (Songs from a Broken World) that reached the no. 2 spot in the charts, it's fair to say he is back on top.
