They dropped him and it was never released but you can hear two songs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEJgXebTRuY . During 1999-2004 he played keyboards for Placebo, produced for various people and recorded another four solo albums - "Xavior" (very funk-orinetated), "Nu York Dreams", "There Is No Such Thing As Silence (electro-acoustic project) and "Man Of Melancholy" (vocal/piano) none of which were released either. He went on tour with the Man of Melancholy songs in 2005 supporting David Ryder Prangley And The Witches (led by David RP ex of Rachel Stamp) and in 2006-2008 he did a new high-camp band Paul St Paul And The Apostles with DRP on bass and some transvestive stage dancers. After that he quit making pop and found a lucrative new career as a dining room pianist commanding a fee of £450 a gig. He has played Elton John's wedding and events by Kevin Spacey and others and for some years right up to the present has had a Sat/Sun lunchtime residency at Bistroteque in Bethnal Green, London. I saw him there myself only yesterday (Sat 6 April 2019.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
