Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson reveals details of 'brilliant' intimate wedding to The Voice stylist Grace Zito
Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson has revealed details of his Covid wedding.
The Leeds lad married his partner Grace Zito in June in an intimate ceremony in West Yorkshire.
He told PA about how much his life has changed since he found fame on the Noughties indie scene as frontman of the Kaisers.
How has your attitude to health and fitness changed over the past few decades?
“You start out in a band and you’re young, fit and you can bounce back from anything; there’s no such thing as a hangover and you’re indestructible. Then, when you’re in the same job for a while, you can’t do what you used to be able to do before – you have to balance the books. It’s not so much about hitting the gym in order to become an Adonis, it’s more about making sure everything’s working.
“We were never a boyband, so I don’t think we desperately needed to have abs. We took off, travelled the world, ate a load of junk [food] and drank every day. You come home late, look tired and don’t feel the best, which affects the work you’re doing.
“By the time I got to 35 I thought, ‘I’ve got to do something about this’, so I started running. I haven’t joined the gym because I’m from the north of England and I’m extremely tight, and I don’t like people telling me what to do. But now, I now run every day and I love it.”
You recently got married to your girlfriend of six years, Grace Zito, how was that?
