Simon Fowler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon Fowler (born 25 May 1965, in Birmingham) is the lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist in Ocean Colour Scene.
He was educated at Tudor Grange School in Solihull, and later studied at The Sixth Form College Solihull where he wrote 'Foxy's Folk Faced.' Simon went on to become a journalist, working for the Birmingham Post and Mail.
Fowler has also appeared as a backing singer for Paul Weller, and with Kate Rusby.
In 1998, British tabloid newspaper The Sun revealed that Fowler was gay which was troubling for him as he had not then come out to his family, let alone publicly. He lives with his long term partner Robert in Warwickshire.
