Description
For the latest interview special of Electric Friends, I speak to Gary Numan's brother John Webb, aka Donovan Silver.
Donovan opens up about his close bond with older brother Gary, what it was like growing up with him and the first time he joined Tubeway Army on stage as a 12-year-old.
He also speaks about joining the band full-time as a teenager and their various tours, as well as working alongside Queen legend Roger Taylor on drums.
Donovan also gives a fascinating account of his impressive aviation career, as well as his return to music, including his most recent album Alpha.
