Celebrity Stalkers
Who's been stalking your phavourite phantom recently?
Stalker #1 - Tracey Ann Oberman

Here's
'Chrissie', the Eastenders murderess sizing up Brian at
the General Roy Xmas Party 2005. 'Phantoms - you boys rock!' - Nice!
Stalker #2 - Badly Drawn Boy

Badly
Drawn Boy backstage at the V festival (Chelmsford 2004)
caught on camera begging Al to play the drums for him!
Stalker #3 - Simon Day

Believe
it or not, this blurry image is a picture of comedian Simon Day
(of the Fast Show fame - he's the one on the right!) buying Al a beer
at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, Dec 05.
Stalkers #4 & #5 - Don Letts & Glenn Tilbrook

August 06 -
Whilst backstage at the Big Chill Festival the stars were fighting
over each other to sign an autograph for the Phantoms. Who were they - see
below.

Stalker #6 - Rob Deering

Here's Britain's funniest
comedian, Rob Deering, attempting to buy his way
into the band (with an inflatable guitar!!) after hearing that we had recently
played a gig with one of our guitarists missing! Pictured in Soho, London, July
07.
(Apparently, he also owns the same t-shirt that Al is wearing! What good taste!)
Stalker #7 - Little Boots

Glastonbury
Festival 2009. First up it's Little Boots, the latest UK electropop sensation!
Here she is pictured with her backing band (including a surprise guest
appearance
from Al Phantom on drums)! This unique collaboration was screened live on BBC3
on Friday evening (26/06/09) & is currently still available on iPlayer
here (about
1:14 into the broadcast). Eagle eyed Phans out there may also recognise
the keyboard player too!
Stalker # 8 - Andy Williams

Next, drummer
Andy Williams was spotted backstage at the John Peel stage
just prior to the Doves triumphant headline slot asking Al for tips on how
he gets over pre gig nerves at sell-out Phantom shows. Well, whatever
Al told him must have worked as they went down quite well!
Stalker # 9 - Jarvis Cocker

Finally, here's Jarvis Cocker of
Pulp fame telling Al how much he likes the
Phants rendition of 'Common People'. Jarvis is pulling a funny face as
he
was worried he had crisps in his teeth. Personally, I think it's that Al
may
smell a bit after not having had a shower for a considerable number of
days!
...hopefully more to follow soon!
