Peter Albert Neil Perrett (born 8 April 1952) is an English singer, songwriter, musician and record producer.
At that time, his singing style was so similar to Lou Reed's that it nearly led NME journalist Nick Kent to believe that he was listening to unreleased Velvet Underground material.
[5][6] The Only Ones reunited in 2007, following the use of "Another Girl, Another Planet" in a Vodafone advertising campaign and a subsequent request to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead.
After the Only Ones performed in Japan in 2014 without their drummer Mike Kellie, a press release announced that Perrett would play a one-off solo date at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire in January 2015.
[8] In April 2017, Perrett announced his debut solo studio album, How the West Was Won, which was released on 30 June by the Domino label.
[10] The album was preceded by two official music videos, "Once Is Enough" and "I Want Your Dreams", in April 2019 and an audio-only track titled "Heavenly Day" in May of the same year.
[11] The release of Humanworld was accompanied by a UK tour, which included a reunion of the three remaining members of the Only Ones when Perrett appeared at Somers Town Festival in July 2019.
