Gary Numan to receive Q Innovation In Sound award

Gary Numan will receive the Innovation In Sound prize when the 2015 Q Awards are held next Monday (October 19th).

“To receive any award in music is an honour, but to receive the Q Innovation In Sound award is particularly special,” Numan says. “Sound is the most important aspect of making music to me, it’s why electronic music has been such an obsession. It allows you the opportunity to constantly create new and exciting sounds.

“I’m very grateful to Q for the award, and very proud.”

Noel Gallagher is leading the way on the 2015 Q Awards shortlist with nominations in the Best Solo Artist and Best Act In The World Today categories, while his second High Flying Birds LP ‘Chasing Yesterday‘ is up for Best Album.

His former Britpop adversaries Blur also have nominations in the Best Album and Best Act In The World Today sections.
