If you've heard a Gary Numan record or two, chances are you have a pretty good mental image of the guy floating around somewhere in your noggin: skeletally skinny, pale, made-up, all black wardrobe, etc. Probably hunched over a rack of keyboards making ominous, industrial-tinged keyboard dirges, right? Not sure exactly where "sheep wrestling" fits into that equation.
If you're a fan, do yourself a major favor and follower @numanofficial on Twitter. You wouldn't want to miss out on any gems, like this past weekend, when Gary dropped the following bomb:
Rubbish weekend. Bloc Festival cancelled & I lost my wedding ring yesterday whilst wrestling a sheep to check for Fly Strike.
Later:
Found my wedding ring amidst layers of sheep poo. I thought metal detectors were a joke but they actually work. £150 well spent. V happy.
Yes, you read all that right—Gary Numan lost his wedding ring in a mound of sheep shit and then found it again with a metal detector. Insert your own "I like the metal, don't you" jokes here.
