Fool for you

Forest supporter Joe Jackson has a new album out this week.

Fool is the 20th studio album of his career.

It comes out exactly 40 years after the release of his first album, Look Sharp, in January 1979.

Starting next month Joe will be touring America and Europe playing songs from five of those 20 albums, “each representing a decade”:

Look Sharp (1979), Night And Day (1982), Laughter And Lust (1991), Rain (2008) and Fool (2019).

The UK dates are in London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester. The London Palladium show sold out well before Christmas which is pretty impressive.

Older readers may recall that in 2004 Joe wrote and recorded a song protesting against the New York smoking ban.

Proceeds from the single were donated to three smokers' rights groups, Forces and NYC Clash (USA) and Forest (UK).
