Please Push No More

Description
"Now it's all over for sure, I'll walk back home..."
In 1981, Gary Numan said goodbye to his fans with his epic Wembley shows, which was meant to be his retirement from live performance (thankfully, it wasn't).
The year before, he had recorded 'Please Push No More', a piano-synth ballad that dealt with his feelings about fame, fans and critics.
This episode tells the story of that song, and the emotional goodbye, and how he soon regretted his decision.
