Happy Birthday Neil Francis Tennant!!!


Neil Tennant (born 10 July 1954) is an English musician, singer and songwriter, who, with bandmate Chris Lowe, makes up the successful electronic dance music duo Pet Shop Boys.

"Some people think all classical music sounds the same or that all the Rolling Stones records sound the same. If you play our records back to back, they're pretty different. People think they sound the same because of my voice, so no matter what we do, people always say, 'Oh typical Pet Shop Boys..."

"When I look at pop music today, I don't think a lot of it has much to do with what we do. It's all kids from stage schools doing dance routines. Though there's nothing wrong with that, it's not really about music, it's about showbusiness. We've always set our sights a little higher."

"I love being a pop star, but I think we try to develop and invent new ways of doing things - whether it be on the record or at concerts like we did at the Savoy Theatre a couple of years ago. It's important to try and do things differently."
