Toyah and Robert Fripp on the healing powers of music: \u201cWe should live every year of our lives as if it’s the best year of our lives\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert Fripp and Toyah appeared on BBC Breakfast news this morning, 21 June, to promote their forthcoming appearance at Glastonbury, the first time either of them have played the Worthy Farm festival.<\/p>\n

Asked about the Toyah and Robert\u2019s Sunday Lunch videos \u201cwhich spread such joy\u201d during lockdown, Toyah gave a bit of insight into the thinking behind them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe realised during lockdown that classic rock changes people’s lives and it gives people the chance to visit really good memories. For me, it will be David Bowie\u2019s Life On Mars, which I first heard when I was 12. Every time I hear that song, I’m taken back there. And very much the concept of what we are doing is taking people back to classic rock, but also introducing new generations \u2013 who’ve just come from the dance tent \u2013 to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, or even introducing them to classic Blondie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presenter commented that the age range of people entering Glastonbury for the festival was huge. \u201cLet’s face it,\u201d said Toyah, \u201cwe should live every year of our lives as if it’s the best year of our lives and age should not be something that we judge.\u201d<\/p>\n
