Gary Numan joins The XS Noize Podcast to reflect on Telekon at 45, his emotional Wembley return, debut at Glastonbury, and the future of AI in music.
In one of his most open and revealing interviews, Numan discusses resilience, mental health, and the moments he nearly walked away from music — while revisiting the ghosts of his past and looking ahead to the creative future.
From Cars and Are ‘Friends’ Electric? to Intruder and beyond, this is Gary Numan at his most candid — sharing insights into legacy, technology, and what still drives him after decades in music.
