Uh oh. It s 10:30 in the morning, and Rag n Bone Man is wearing shades indoors.
Has he succumbed to delusions of grandeur? Has he, since the global success of Human and Giant, turned into a monstrous diva? Will he storm off in a huff if his coffee isn t perfectly brewed?
No. Not at all. None of the above. He s just a little worse for wear. I m hiding the hangover from last night, confesses the star, zooming the BBC from his home in Sussex where, just a few hours ago, he d been sampling the delights of a local beer garden.

Rory Graham was always stoically familiar with life’s knocks. With a stage-name inspired by Galton and Simpson’s fatalistic family tragicomedy
Steptoe and Son, and an underground hip-hop career hinterland in Sussex and London, this big 30-something man with a big voice and vintage soul sound was already richly experienced when his breakthrough anthem, “Human”, confessed he was only that.

Pink and Rag n Bone Man are dreaming of some place else on their new collaboration, Anywhere Away From Here.
The four-minute ballad, which dropped on Friday (April 9) and was produced by the British star, alongside
Mike Elizondo and
Ben Jackson-Cook, hears the unlikely pair come together for a stripped-back offering about wanting to disappear from uncomfortable situations - about the vulnerabilities that we all face, per Rag. But when the lights go up/ I don t think I told you/ I don t think I told you/ That I feel out of place, the two sing on their respective pre-hooks, before the cut hits dramatic territory. So pull me underground/ Don t know if you notice/ Sometimes I close my eyes/ And dream of somewhere else/ Anywhere away from here.
