Bryan Ferry height - How tall is Bryan Ferry?

He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2011 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to music.

He was the winner of the BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) Icon Award in 2008.

He became the face of Mark & Spencer's clothing range "Autograph" in October 2006.

He was the winner of the 2004 Q Lifetime Achievement Award (as a member of Roxy Music).

He was the winner of the 2003 Ivor Novello Award for outstanding contribution to British music.

Ferry's son Otis was arrested while attempting to plaster pro-hunting stickers over the windows of British Prime Minister Tony Blair's house during a protest in support of fox hunting. (3 August 2002).

He became romantically attached to Katie Turner, a dancer he got to know during Roxy Music's 2001 concert tour.

Kar-Wai Wong credits his rendition of the standard "I'm in the Mood for Love" as the inspiration for the English title of his film In the Mood for Love (2000).

His song "Going Strong" was recorded by Roger Daltrey on his solo album "Parting Should Be Painless" (released in 1984).

Ferry was Roxy's front man until its demise in 1983, but as Eno was leaving the band, Ferry released his first solo album, "These Foolish Things", which demonstrates a different approach of what he was doing at that time with Roxy Music: while the band jumped on the Glam Rock bandwagon, Ferry, in his solo efforts, showed a cool crooning style. But as Roxy Music evolved by the years, it became clear that Ferry's career with the band or as a solo artist was a whole.

His children are Otis (born 1 November 1982), Isaac (16 May 1985), Tara and Merlin.

Although Roxy was very popular in UK, they had little impact in America: their best known hits on this side of the Atlantic were "Love Is the Drug" (1975), "Avalon" and "More Than This" (both in 1982). After Roxy Music disbanded, Ferry put emphasis on his solo career, releasing five albums after the Roxy years and keeping the same crooning style which became his trademark.

Son of a coal miner, Bryan Ferry cultivated his musical abilities while studying art at the University of Newcastle. In 1971, Ferry founded Roxy Music with, among others, composer and synthesizer player Brian Eno, who left in 1973.

He was the lead singer, songwriter and keyboardist of Roxy Music, who were one of Britain's most popular bands from the early 1970s until the early 1980s. Primarily associated with the glam rock movement, they outlived it and actually peaked in popularity with their final album, "Avalon", which was released in 1982 and was their biggest success in the United States.
