Richard Ashcroft (born Richard Paul Ashcroft, on September 11, 1971, in Billinge, Wigan, England) is best known as the front man of The Verve, which he helped form in 1989.
After that band’s demise in 1999, Ashcroft began his solo career, releasing Alone With Everybody in 2000, Human Conditions in 2002 and Keys To The World in 2006. He performed vocals for the track
Lonely Soul on UNKLE’s 1998 release Psyence Fiction and his voice can also be heard on the The Chemical Brothers’ album Come With Us track The Test.
He is good friends with Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and Coldplay’s Chris Martin (whom Ashcroft thanks for ‘letting me be myself again’), and occasionally plays as support at Oasis and Coldplay concerts, including the European and second UK legs of Coldplay’s ‘Twisted Logic Tour’. He recently described himself as ‘the best support act you’ll ever see’. The Oasis track “Cast No Shadow” is dedicated to him. Chris Martin introduced him as “the best singer in the world” when he performed “Bitter Sweet Symphony” (which Martin called “the best song in the world”) with Coldplay at the London Live 8 concert in 2005. On his second album Human Conditions The Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson guest stars on the songNature Is The Law.
Ashcroft is married to Kate Radley, ex-Spiritualized keyboard player.
