Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Birthdate

Funny that, Alex (I missed this thread - that's why I'm way behind with posting!), I'm an Aquarian too! It's the creative sign you know!

I reckon John's about 55, but hey, he still looks fantastic IMHO!

Seems that i have been a naughty boy! i will explain Metamatrix give me a telling of about my so called spamming on this site.Electronically Yours,but as i explained to him this is a music site not a political debate. As you can see he got right up my nose so pal this is for you www.audigist.com .

i think he was definately 30 in 1980/81 - i remember an article in smash hits at the time which stated his age, and i think his date of birth also , which i have forgotten - but i have a feeling it was march?

Hi Sparkle!

If you can find this article it´ll be great.

I have a feeling his birthdate has been published before. I think I´ve seen it before alongside Billy´s, Warren´s etc. I can´t recall if it was an old edition of Martin Strong´s Great Rock Discography or an old article on the Record Collector.

My only recollection was that Billy was the oldest member of Ultravox. Is this correct? Although Adam claims in a recent interview with Billy that John is older. It´s all too mysterious!

i will scour ebay for a copy , i know i have it somewhere but its probably in the depths of my mothers attic , so ebay is a much safer bet! i think the copy of smash hits in question had a poster of him on the back....

There's something fishy going on here, and there isn't a Piscean in sight.
I'm an Aquarian too.
I think the website should be renamed....Metaqautic

I'll get me coat

btw I think John (and us) can be any age he feels like, anyone read Deepak Chopra? -
i think hiding or disregarding the number is a good way of saying it's just not so important, there are still many people alive today who don't know their age, (my Cambodian grandparents-in-law for example) - I would hazard a guess that they feel un-hampered by the social inferences of age.
Does that make sense?
ok, the coats on, where's the door?

that doesn't surprise me one bit.
Good consideration about age ...fairly typical Acquarian approach I would say too.

Oh. My. God. I've just found a site where the Man's birthdate is clearly stated - also states 'Chorley UK' so there is obviously a reliable source, and I think there has only been the one John Foxx born in Chorley (albeit not by that name!).
the day and the year would seem coherent with what we have been discussing above.....
Should I let the cat out...?

What, this one?

Nope, mine gives a different year, but also gives the day.
