Ricky Warwick
Perched in his LA lockdown den, in remarkably youthful good health and looking only half his 54 years, Ricky Warwick is breaking all the rules of rock stardom. He is also about to release When Life the best solo album of his career so far. That is clearly not how these things work usually, saving all your best stuff for long after you’ve become famous. In Warwick’s case fame came first with his band The Almighty, who started out in 1988, then latterly fronting Black Star Riders with former Thin Lizzy star Scott Gorham. But that’s how Ricky likes to roll, going against the grain, full of surprises.
