Rock 'failure' hires a plane to bring fans on world tour

SINGER John Otway has hired an airliner to realise his dream of a world tour.

After two chart hits a quarter of a century apart - 'Really Free' in 1977 and 'Bunsen Burner' in 2002 - the 53-year-old has paid a €90,000 deposit for an Airbus A340 in the belief that 240 fans will fork out €6,000 each to go with him or take individual legs of the "Ot-Air" trip for almost €3,000 apiece.

In all, the plane will cost €1m, but Otway, who called his autobiography 'Rock 'n' Roll's Greatest Failure', has built a large cult following through endless tours and self-deprecating humour. And he said 120 fans had so far signed up.
