- Music legend Edwyn Collins talks about the strokes which have affected his life. He's slowly rebuilding his life, and I hope everything improves rapidly.
As well as being known for his song "A Girl Like You", I particularly loved "Rip It Up", by his band, Orange Juice, released in 1983. I even had a T-shirt back in the day which said "Rip It Up"!

I knew Edwyn briefly in his youth, and I can genuinely say he was one of the wittiest, most articulate human beings I had ever met, a man with a genius for invention. Great to see him fighting back to health. Most impressed with Grace's love and dedication.
Courageous
Edwyn is a genius, still so freakin underrated as a song-writer
If he was underrated they would not be featuring him on the news would they?
@@NickHarman You know what was meant.
That was so cute when his wife said that he was more soft hearted and then he started giggling. That giggling was so cute, god bless Edwyn Collins.
his wife is the angel everyone needs by their side,GOD bless them both forever
go Edwin,
your such a great guy,
I'm sure you'll probably never read this but I remember listening to "a girl like you " whilst at work as a mechanic on coaches when it was a massive hit.
happy days.....
keep up your hard work my friend,get well.
I have a high respect for his wife who stood by him and supported him when he had his strokes, which affected him mentally and physically and helped him on his road to recovery.
That to me is an example of a spouse who loves unconditionally and who is there in both the good and bad times.
"Girl like you" was our song with my husband who died 11 years ago. Edwyn is a strong and talented man with a lovely lady by his side. Go on pal!

I saw him in concert last night - it was beautiful. A stunning performance.
This is heartbreaking! I absolutely adore this musician, artist and incredible human being- So grateful that he has the love and care of his wife and son.
He still has a beautiful voice.
Humble, lovely guy. His wife too. God bless them ♥️
Those two playing guitar together is so moving. True love.
As someone who has had a stroke, this is sad, u literally don’t remember shii, speaking and how the brain works changes, it’s like when u see him stuggle to talk it brings back when I couldn’t do anything like walk and talk, dis vid moved me, I am 18 turning 19 soon and had my stroke just after my 17 bday, everyone should be greatful for what they have, I thought nothing like dis could happen to me n just my luck dis happened to me
Inspiration.. He always comes across as unassuming and modest although he is one in a million..
Oh my God, i didn’t knew. It breaks my heart. Poor guy, i truly hope that you’ll recover completly. Stay strong and may God bless you.
Still listening to your great songs edwyn, always a legend
I remember hearing Edwyn Collins song A Girl Like You as a kid and hearing it at the age I’m at now it’s still amazing as ever from when I heard it being played as a kid. 😄😄😀😀. Such an amazing singer and songwriter. 😄😀.
Edwyn is a legend
This mans work means so much to me and I am truly grateful for all the joy his songs have given. It’s so sad that he is no longer fully self sufficient but his bravery and perseverance in what must be testing times for him and his family is admirable. God bless you Edwyn x
Inspirational. I grew up as a teenager listening to You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever. It’s still one of my favourite albums. Every few years I pull it out again. It had a spirit that is uncommon now. A lack of fear to do it your own way. All the best Edwyn.
A Very brave Man...A Tremendous Inspiration for all of us....
I've been listening to Rip It Up every day for the past couple of weeks. It was written about me and a woman I know. The sultry in the rain bit, but she was engaged. Then years later she got in touch, but I didn't want her then. Literally written for me, divinely inspired.
Keep taking that medication.

Thank you Grace for staying by Edwyn's side & living up to your name. Wishing you both abundant joy forever.
Edwyn you are a inspiration! Keep moving forward.
a massive inspiration gives me strength.............a stroke survivor
My sympathy and best wishes to him...and his great gal..! This guy has the music in his little finger,his style is unique ,his music brings joy ! Cheers EDWYN !
Grace has been with him since roughly 1983 when she started to manage the band. That's dedication for you.

What an awesome guy and his wife is amazing, A great musician and also a great comedy actor, he was hilarious in west heath yard, Love and respect to you edwyn.

Nothing but the absolute best to you Edwyn. Your music still resonates and continues to change the terrain for the better. Your recovery is an inspiration.
got a tear here.
Bless him, such a lovely man. Rip it up and start again inspired a whole generation. You can be very, very proud.
This is just crazy. I've just watched his great song A Girl Like You that I remember vividly back in 1983, and then this!!! Oh, Edwyn, I hope you beat this awful affliction!!
Crikey Edwyn, didn't know about your health problems until I found this tonight. I so hope you are continuing on the road to recovery.
I went to see you in Manchester just before "Rip It Up" charted and "Flesh of My Flesh" has always been one of my favourite songs of all time.
All the best Edwyn, and thank you so much for your music
God bless you Edwin and family... thank you for your great music... Keep fighting
Oh my Lord.
I knew, but I had never actually saw this.
Edwyn... remember... Scotland is behind you. :-*
Great guy
I had no idea he was in ORANGE JUICE. Classic.
RIP it up and start again
Sending prayers filled with grace and love, respect and admiration
That’s beautiful❤️
Gaun yersel Edwyn. Total legend man. OJ so underappreciated. One of Scotland's best songwriters. Much love
That's a great couple to say the least. I hope he continues his amazing recovery, always a musician ❤️
Your a true fighter Edwin,all the best to you,may you continue to get better with everyday that passes!
One of the best ever voices, long live Edwin
Great man and the greatest woman!!
Oh no I didn’t know, this is so sad 😭 I loved that song
Canada loves Edwyn.
Best wishes from Brazil 🇧🇷
Edwyn Collins Simply 👏👏👏👏👏
Talk about courage!
Just watched again,
Edwyn is an inspiration,
When we have a bit of a shitty day we get angry and stamp about,
Edwyn has faced these feelings every moment of everyday since ,
And he still smiles , total hero.
Bless him ..hope he gets there love his music
He seems to have a lovely and supportive wife. Take care Edwyn, I hope you doing well.
What an inspiration, stay strong!
Honestly, why him? There are lots of a-holes around.

@@2Malachi U R an IDIOT
It's just one of those cosmic jokes.
@@2Malachi This sign means long live Rock 'n' Roll you idiot. Educate yourself moron.
This is so sad. Breaks my heart. Love Orange Juice... especially Lean Period.
Praying for you 🙏❤️ with love from Liverpool England
God bless him, and God bless her. May he recover and enjoy a beautiful life. ❤️
Total respect Edwyn ✊✊👊👊
Wow.........this guy is so uplifting......go man go Edwyn
Love&light...transcending to you and family....
Omg I'm so sad. I recently learned about Edwyn Collins its so sad to see him struggle to speak and walk. :-(
I’m always shocked when I haven’t seen someone for 30 yrs and how people change. Once you get to 45 you don’t seem to recognise yourself any more. When I look at eighties stars I think god they have aged then think god so have I where has 30 yrs gone. Hope Edwyn continues to do well.
Alive and kicking!!!!!!!!!! Still listening in 2020..
This is a testament to the true strength of love and the Human Nature. One does not come back from an experience like this without strength and love surrounding you. I'm so glad that Edwyn was blessed with Grace - both in his wife, and in his circumstance.
Greetings from🇦🇷.Take care you.❤👏👏👏👏👏😍
Love Edwyn.
I love these two. Keep on Burnin' Edwyn! xxx
This is absolutely heartbreaking 😢.
So sad, hope he recovers gradually. Talented guy.
Thank you Edwyn for what you gave us - keep on truckin'.
God bless him great artist.
Our thoughts are still with you Edwin.
Keep going brave man.
Respect mate 👍
Love Edwyn Collins and his music. Loved orange juice rip it up , and later girl like you a genius musician
A lovely man with a great supportive wife. Grace has a lovely kind face and warm eyes who clearly adores Edwyn And he her
God bless them a lovey couple who hopefully have many more years together
Great talent who’s shows us all what courage is. His songs will live on forever good on ya marra
Bless him.
I did not know this ...remember seeing Orange Juice at the Rothes Arms in Glenrothes i'm a little shocked....so my best wishes from Kaapstad..and in the words of the late Dave Allen...may your God go with you.
Hope all the recovery is going really well for Edwyn with his missis standing strong with him. It’s over just so sad to see this great songwriter having to start over. I new he’d had a brain hemmorage but didn’t realise the full extent of it all......stay positive fella👏👏👏
I want to see the movie! I just discovered him and his hit song yesterday!!!!!! Never heard about him before!!!
All the best to Edwyn and hope he recovers. His music is genius and also his acting/writing in West Heath Yard!
How lucky to have had his career, supportive family, and health.
Love Edwyn!
I love him
Aw, such an amazing story :)
I saw him and his good lady at the latitude festival around this time. He wasn't able to speak as clearly as before but his singing was as good as ever.
What a great man, and, wow, what a woman.
Beautiful Soul 🌠❤️🌹
Inspirational! ❤
Bless them both.
You may have lost some physical attributes, but you’ve gained spiritual ones. Best wishes to you Edwin Collins and your wife Grace. Much love to you both.
Wonderful man, get better soon bro.
His drawing is superb!!!!!!!
So sad to see. Fab singer....get well soon!
Lovely, inspirational!
Sounds like stroke is a humbling experience. It's not just focusing on what you can do, rather than what you can't, it's about what you have gained.
All the very best to you ❤
well done warrior GOD BLESS X
…..such a tragic tale…..we’ve been robbed of his great talent. Hope he is much, much better.
What do you mean? He's recorded four studio albums since then, the latest of which was released in 2019. His talent is very much still here, and in brilliant form. =)
Poor fella. Like his songs 🎵
