Devastated and heartbroken that my older brother Simon passed away on Friday morning, he was 54. A guiding light to me and my 2 Sisters all our lives. I can’t remember having an argument with him in 51 years. He instilled in me the confidence to pursue my dreams. Love you Si 💔

It’s 5 years since my last drop of alcohol. I drank everyday for 15 years. I didn’t think stopping was a option, but it was ruining my life. Stopping was tough at first, but now I honestly don’t think about booze. Life got better, that’s all I think about. #AlcoholAwarenessWeek

In 25 years of gigging I’ve never been any good at sticking to a set list, especially when I play solo shows. Leanne asked Ruben (5) to write one out for me as a surprise this morning. I can’t say I’ll stick to it but I love it and I’ll have it on stage with me 🎤🎸

Hot water bottles are the greatest invention. I’d never used one until a few days ago. I’m hooked. Goodnight and Godbless x

Regarding my tweet about Eurovision. Thanks to anyone that didn’t require an instruction manual to realise I was being ironic and self deprecating, and of course Pro European 🇪🇺

My Son Oscar phoned to tell me he’s passed his driving test. I’m delighted for him obviously, and on a deeper level, it felt like the best slice of ‘normal’ in ages. To hear his rite of passage Joy !

It’s sometimes worth remembering we were all this small and vulnerable once. A reminder to look out for each other, have empathy for others. 2 family members in hospital this week..non COVID stuff, not being able to visit them has shown me how tough 1000s have had it recently

I can’t leave it tonight without saying thanks to so many kind supportive people with sensible feedback on the mask thing. Kindness IS there and will prevail. Nice one ! 🙂

Photo popped up in memories. My Mum and Dad both in their late 70s, with Ruben my youngest. He’s 4 in May. This was the last time they were together, a year ago today. My folks had their first vaccine and are both very well. Together again soon perhaps 🙌🏻

After giving up the booze 5 years ago, believe it or not, my first gig after quitting was headlining a Beer Festival in Prestwich. After getting through that successfully, I felt invincible. Being around drinkers is totally not an issue. Each to their own.

It’s incredible to think he’s been gone now for as long as he was here. That’s some milestone. Thanks John Lennon for everything you gave us, and for trying to change the World. You did and you still do. Love and Peace ✌🏻 #JohnLennon

Touring the World with Andy Rourke was a real highlight of my music career.. he was always ridiculously humble. He never once talked negatively about his past. He was always ultra proud of having been a ‘Smith’. “ D’you know who I used to be ? “ was his joke catchphrase

These ‘newer’ all in one KitKat wrappers without the foil and paper combo are missing the point. Very Un-fun. Very 2020.

Rock n Roll isn’t just the cliches of booze and drugs. It’s about finding Freedom through your own Truth. Mark E Smith came closer to this than most ever do. Sadly we lost him 3 years ago today. He did it His Way.
