To me it looks as if he is sweating , not crying.

[@robertloader9826]

It’s sweat mate, get a grip.

[@markg9749]

The one and only Richard Ashcroft and I love this tune, Him and Ian Brown and The Gallagher bro's make up most of my Vinyl collection because they are simply The best of our generation and I am also a huge Beatles & Bowie fan. In fact , I am a fan of any decent rock n roll group of the last few decades... Even though I was born in the mid 80's... C'mon Ye Know...!! #RocknRoll #RA #LG #NG #TheSmiths #ArcticMonkeys #Bowie #IanBrown #Inhaler Mark G Ballyfermot Dublin 10 Ireland 🇮🇪💚☘️☘️☘️👍 .
