Rag 'N' Bone Man

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

Becoming a father has opened Rag ‘N’ Bone Man - real name Rory - up to being more honest about his emotions both with his family and in his music. In this chat, he and Fearne bond over their shared love of tattoos and inability to sleep well, and talk through how they’ve learnt to say ‘no’ to projects and events they’re just not enthusiastic about.

Rag ‘N’ Bone Man’s album, Life By Misadventure, is out now.
