Gary Numan with The Skaparis Orchestra - My Breathing - Glasgow - 2018

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 20th November 2018.
Gary Numan accompanied by his daughter Persia.

[@ufojules]

I love this man. Have for years. Constantly reassuring his daughter. Encouraging her all the way, always protective. Amazing father, musician and writer. Always my hero

[@Utubin]

I totally agree. He so loves his family and is a wonderful artist. I remember 1980 1st time seeing him performing , you guessed it. "Cars" Keep on keepin on Gary and family.

[@t8283287]

Dead right, when you look at the struggles they had conceiving... And well done Persia...you got those backing vocals spot on...

[@LittleSteamMrs]

It warms my heart every time I see them together! What a lovely bond

[@catgaudio9463]

brought tears to my eyes

[@h0rn3y0ne]

@@catgaudio9463 same every time i watch. Gary is fantastic but Persia's voice on backing is awesome...same on My Name is Ruin..

[@882952]

It's funny that Gary used to come across as such a cold android, aloof and anxious of the public, but he turned out to be such a warm and caring soul. Dude absolutely SHOWERS that child with love! THAT'S parenting!! =)

[@robertnewell4054]

Autism Spectrum Disorder - the present umbrella term that covers everything from ADHD, Autism, Aspergers - appears to be prevalent with many a creative soul. The Android/ Vulcan persona tends to be a common coping affect. Absolutely precious dynamic between father & daughter

[@michaelbonica5955]

Cold android yes but was still caring back then it was more like a defense or a distraction for being insecure nervous and unsure.

[@Moved2NewPh0ne]

He is an amazing and caring person and an awesome dad, People aren't always as they seem. I always knew he was awesome❤

[@stevenhoog1]

You are so right. He landed on all fours with his family intact. He never signed with the Labels because of the demands when he likes to finish his Work. It shows too. Every time I hear a new part of the song I didn’t notice before. None of his songs are rushed. I missed his tour. No car.

[@ryanwisbey3387]

The man didnt like his teeth and suffered mentally. He went bust in the early days putting of massive shows. The pressure I the media dudnt assist either. Listen to wreckage

[@frankalfar]

This makes me cry to see how Persia is clearly his inspiration on that stage. God I wish more people knew of this wonderful father daughter chemistry that so many would envy. Just warms my heart to know and she sounds so good w this sound. Go Gary and Persia, so human and excellent.....

[@totall2952]

Well said

she is learning from a master. let us see what happens.

It's absolutely beautiful I agree ❤

What a contrast, they fit like beauty and the beast, Lindsey/Nick's couldn't match it !

[@monotion83]

I got emotional too after watching. And sorry my English isn't that good.

[@fimfengius]

I´d wish Ultravox would have had preserved the same spirit as Mr Gary Numan.

[@totall2952]

Bloody class he just gets better every bloody year lol

[@lapieces]

he loves his daughter so much. i hope she sees this

[@catgaudio9463]

She does - you see her smile and then her little "childish" embarrassment ha ha

Persia is going to be a talent to look out for in the future

her voice is like magic.. Hope she continues on singing.

Never considered myself a Gary Numan fan, until I rediscovered his music, a couple of days ago. His incredible musicianship (especially his more recent material) and videos like this one has firmly cemented me among his fans. Awesome stuff.

[@terenceadams4697]

Newman progression in music is amazing his last ten years are mind boggling he transforms and transforms constantly not many artist can reinvent themselves as he has. And his two most recent albums are off the charts great, inventive, and full.

[@replicas11]

Welcome aboard Dan, better late than never and lots of catching up to do pal, enjoy 👍👍

[@dharvell]

Welcome Numanoid...you have a fascinating journey ahead....enjoy

[@MrSlipstreem]

Wow! Persia's voice is perfect for this! Good job!

[@terenceadams4697]

i saw this tour last year, was absolutely fabulous he is heads above so much of the music world and his stage performances are second to none.

[@symonoconnell8759]

Father and daughter..warms my heart!!!

[@Utubin]

Me to Love love love I love it.

[@882952]

I am SO waiting for Persia to get older and go into music on her own, please please. No guarantee or expectation that she would write music anything like her dad, but... the DNA is there.... ;)

[@dilonpolaris]

That was pretty amazing. Almost cried @beginning when he was hugging and kissed her head. Then again towards the end. Teary eyed the whole time. She's obviously got the talent gene from her dad.

for god shake- Gary is better than ever--- music is flowing through him and from Gray. Persia go , go ,go !!!!! Great job Persia!!!

[@joharris7972]

Omg, Persia did this song proud!! Bloody awesome... and some!! 🤩💜💪😘 xxx

[@stevenhoog1]

He runs his own house. His world. His rules. I’m glad to listen to him. I’m glad for him. I hope I’m respectable like him.

[@edwardabbey1998]

Indeed; but of vital importance is the women in his life (daughter, wife) which make up this "him" you speak to. I dig where you're coming from, and I'm not into "woke" bs or feminism in the least, this is a glaring positive example of empowering (young) women, imo (Persia, in this case, to which he loves dearly, as evidenced here in this video. I noticed she was feeling a bit nervous, and her dad, Gary, helped assuage any of that, just enjoying the experience together on stage, playing for his fans. Very much top class act, no doubt! What a great role model for our younger gens!)

[@oldsynth]

Utter utter bliss. The man is outer worldly and so is this tune. I discovered this tune the day my grandad died in 1987. I watched his breathing stop in front of my eyes then had a long sad drive home. This came on my radio and I stopped to listen. It caught me and went in deep. It's been there ever since. God bless you Gary Numan

[@lapieces]

this is epic. wish i was there

[@EM-lx9gi]

Persia looked really scared in the beginning. I felt bad for her at first and I cant blame her, but her voice is beautiful and sounds perfect for this song. She's has talent, so confidence will come in time! It always helps to have emotional support from Gary and the crowd too😃. This is my favorite track from Strange Charm. 33 years old and still sounds fresh. Thanks for posting this!!

[@ufojules]

His daughter's have ADHD. He has helped them through alot. Him and his wife have been through so much. His encouragement has helped her so much. Persia is so telantented.

[@shonuff6221]

What s beautiful family!

Gary grows up with abundant love from his parent and now he gives the same love back to his daughters.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

So beautiful gorgeous Gary and beautiful persia father and daughter so lovely

[@tangogrrl]

This concept album is excellent, very haunting and evocative & atmospheric, of a post-apocalyptic world. I recommend listening to it on the best speakers or headphones you have. Worth buying, too.

[@Ash150864]

Gary Numan just gets better and better, with Persia as well and the orchestra Amazing. 😁😁😁😁😍😁🤗

Amazing song, just love it and Persia does sooooooo well on it too. Love the bit near the end when Gary goes to give her a Glesga Kiss :) lol

[@newellbate]

What a great moment in music.

[@prokesuk]

It's funny to see people get excited about this song. Numan was pretty much dismissed when it came out. I have always loved this song though.

[@nutster9000]

It was pretty disgusting how the music press treated him during the 80's. I think he put out some classic albums mid 80's.

[@Smuffthemagicdragon]

Unpopular opinion but Strange Charm is actually one of my favourite Numan albums. I think it's criminally underrated and dismissed. Not his best by a long shot, but there are millions of albums by other artists that are nowhere near Gary's best.

[@maureenwagg5305]

Makes me smile a mile. Thanks so much Gary and Persia. Much love and good health to you both and your family.

[@exile220ify]

THAT was f'ing incredible! Great song - and with an orchestra - and with Persia! Perfect storm!

[@robertparenton7470]

Great Video and hard-working Gary! He is the first I have ever seen with Daughter on stage and makes him unique over any other band out there! What a great way to spend time with your Daughter! I would do the same if I had a daughter!

First saw him when I was 18, over 40 years ago! He was pretty damn good then, but he's got so much more force now. Looking forward to seeing Persia as a performer in her own right someday.

What a fantastic thing to be able to experience - to perform on stage with your daughter. Been a fan of Numan since the beginning and have 4 daughters of my own. I would so love to be able to do this. Enjoy.

[@balthiersgirl2658]

He's amazing

[@882952]

I've followed Gary since 1981. I've seen him inspired by so many things, some that lifted him high, some that didn't serve him so well. But it's clear here that he derives great inspiration from Persia, and I love seeing my old machine-rock hero now being a doting, openly-loving father, and receiving his inspiration form that wonderful relationship that a parent has with their child.

[@steve369powell2]

This song literally written before Persia was born is clearly written for her voice! The other versions just don't seem right without her voice.

[@bifscotsman2573]

His voice sounds more melodic than ever. He is a fantastic entertainer with this new imagery of apocalypse and cyberpunk. What a great opportunity for Pershia,and like Garry,she can grow to any styles of her choice.
