GARY NUMAN - NUMAN TAKES WEB CAM ON TOUR

Electropop pioneer GARY NUMAN hates being away from his family while on tour so much, he's bought an expensive web camera to speak to his children before going on stage. The eighties pop legend - who has two daughters, three-year-old RAVEN and five-month-old PERSIA with wife GEMMA - hopes the device will help him feel less homesick. He says, "I've rigged up a video camera through my computer so I'll be able to see the girls and talk to them before I go on stage. "They're both very young at the moment and I can't wait until they get a little older so Gemma and I can take them with us on the road."
