Rag ‘n’ Bone Man lands number one in the UK Albums Chart with Life By Misadventure

Rag ‘n’ Bone Man has topped the UK album charts with his new record Life By Misadventure reaching number one on Friday.

The album, which features popular single Anywhere Away From Here, has been met with rave reviews since its April release.

Life By Misadventure is 36-year-old Rag ‘n’ Bone Man’s – who real name is Rory Graham – second UK album number one, with his debut record Human reaching the top of the Official Albums Chart in February 2017.

The musician delighted fans when he performed hit single Anywhere Away From Here featuring P!nk, at this year’s BRITs.

Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and P!nk closed Tuesday night’s BRIT Awards, performing their hit Anywhere Away From Here, with the latter joining remotely from the US.

The musical duo were joined by special guest singers from the Greenwich and Lewisham NHS Trust Choir, providing an emotional climax to the show.

For his red carpet appearance, The Human hitmaker looked effortlessly cool in a pair of hexagonal sunglasses and a pair of Dr Martens.

Donning a stylish emerald and navy checked coat, Rag’n’Bone Man beamed ahead of his live performance at the awards.

Earlier in May, Rag’n’Bone Man said he would love for his three-year-old son Reuben to ‘go into music’ as he discusses ‘winging it’ as a parent after splitting from his wife.

Talking about his son’s love of music, the musician said Reuben has recently started asking to go to the studio with him and carries a harmonica in his pocket when he goes to nursery.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross show, he said he often feels like he’s ‘winging it’ as a father after he split from Reuben’s mother Beth Rouy in 2019 after just six months of marriage.

When asked about parenting the singer said: ‘We’re all winging it aren’t we? All the time. Especially as a father.’

Speaking about his son Reuben, who’ll be four in August and whether he’s into music Rory said: ‘Quite recently he’s started saying, ‘Daddy can we go to studio?’ He’ll sit around and bash the drums quite hard.

‘I picked him up from nursery, one of his teachers said, “Just so you’re aware, Ruben’s got a harmonica in his pocket.” He’d nicked it from the studio and taken it to nursery.’

He added: ‘I’d love him to go into music. As long as he’s happy.’

Since splitting from his wife in November 2019, the star has moved on with his new waitress girlfriend and mother-of-three Zoe Beardsall as they were seen out together for the first time in January this year.
