Simple Minds legend Jim Kerr is about to turn 50 - and with £50million in the bank and a luxury hotel in Sicily, you would think that he was about to retire, but that's not the case, a new album Graffiti Soul is out now and concerts are planned - www.simpleminds.com
After 30 years fronting one of the best live rock bands in the world, Jim will spend his birthday on July 9 performing hits from a new album in front of thousands of fans in Paris on Simple Minds' gruelling six-month international tour.
Jim said: "I still get the same buzz I always did from being on the road. Every single night, every single concert you want to give your very best - play like it's your only night on Earth."
Jim believes one of the reasons he is still at the top of his game is that he is a teetotal vegetarian who has always shunned drugs.
While on tour with rock group Simple Minds in 1995, Jim Kerr the lead singer of the famous Scottish band arrived on Sicily and fell hopelessly in love not only with this amazing romantic destination, but also with the warmth of the Sicilian people and their passion for life. Jim Karr created an intimate hotel where others could also come to enjoy the magic Mount Etna and the wonder of Taormina's Teatro Greco.
Taormina is one of the most popular Mediterranean VIP hot spots and his beautiful hotel Villa Angela was a dream come through.
Jim Karr has several broken high profile marriages behind him and states; "I'm "technically single" at the moment", even he clearly no shortage of female admirers. But is he ever likely to tie the knot again?
He said "I'm not ideal marrying fodder. I'm a bit of a freak. Back home in Sicily I'm in bed at 10pm, I only need five hours of sleep a night and I'm up at 4.30am working.
