Frontman of the Arctic Monkeys, notorious for getting "friendly" with his band mates. Anybody got anything interesting on him?
I pegged him.

I was so in love with him when I was 15/16. I masturbated to him a couple of times. It made me appreciate English working class lads in bands :P
His mother is a German teacher, I think. So we do have something in common!
I want to date someone from Yorkshire.

What I want to know is how he and Miles Kane don't pop boners every time they grind against each other.

I liked his hair when it had length to it. The Elvis Presley aesthetic seems too imposed.

R15 They probably do, they just use the guitars to hide it.

I don't know much about him but seeing how he was completely fine with singing Amy Winehouse song "No Good" without changing any of the pronouns leads me to believe he's comfortable in his sexuality. Most male singers doing covers of female songs would always change the pronouns because they don't want to appear gay.

R18, the pronouns business is a Gen Z/millennial thing. Grown ups don't care about pronouns, it's just a song.

It's a shorter list as to who is NOT bi in music, especially in the UK scene.

R20, I recall reading something about singers from the 40s/50s era weren't allowed to sing songs with same-sex pronouns because it alluded to homosexuality, they had to change pronouns in the songs they sang. Might've had something to do with the Hays Code? I'm not entirely sure but I do know PC pronouns aren't a recent "business".

R29 to be fair, I don't know what he and Skarsgaard saw in Alexa. She's kinda plain.

Alex looks so much better with short hair than long hair.

Actually, he's one of those rare people who look great with every hairstyle, except maybe that Lennon-wannabe look he used to sport.

I worked with Alexa Chung on a project last year. She's pretty, funny, sweet, and has the mouth of a sailor. I'm a big ole mo and I fell in love with her. I'd say Alex was the one.

He’s a smug boring poseur and his songs are anodyne banal tally-bollocks rubbish. He just opens a dictionary and uses whatever words are on the page that falls out. You’re better off listening to The Streets than the Arctic Monkeys.
People make fun of the Enter Shikari types, but at least they’ve got an M.O. and a discernible point of view they impart with clarity and without consulting an idiom compendium or an episode of Corrie.

Despite being someone who is a fan of both of his bands, the Arctic Monkees and The Last Shadow Puppets, I must admit I know little about Alex Turner's personal life. I do think he's very attractive, but I love both bands for their music and songs, not the lead singer. I do know he and Miles Kane have been best friends for a very long time. They often show public display of affection on and off the stage and it's obvious they truly love each other and it's obviously more than agape (non-sexual brotherly love) but also physical relationship.

I get a "Tim Tebow" vibe from him.

R39 interestingly, I don't remember Alex ever groping his AM bandmates on stage or in interviews the way he does with Miles. Not saying they are secretly in love with each other or anything. I actually love that they are so comfortable with each other in public.
I wish TLSP made more music. Their collaboration is even better than AM. Miles Kane is so underrated.

Josh Homme probably fucked him. There’s no other plausible explanation why the Arctics would collaborate with QOTSA.

R42 I hope he didn't. Homme is a fucking mess.

^^true but he’s a really handsome sexy mess. Josh might be ginger and a bit of a weird moody drunk, but you have to admit he’s physically hotter than scrawny greasy rat-faced Turner (and that’s coming from another Brit).
I remember reading a groupie dirtsheet once that reported Josh wore a barbell cockring, if that’s if interest. This would have been c.2001.

R44 LOL I'm partial to scrawny greasy rat-faced myself. Homme does absolutely nothing for me. As far as thicker rockers go, I'd much prefer Marcus Mumford.
Interesting tidbit about groupies there. I doubt AM have any juicy dirt like that.

He's actually looking really hot lately. A smooth motherfucker, as Homme so eloquently put it. But he was a funny-looking scrawny kid at the start of his career. It was mostly the ratty hair, I think.
By the way does anyone know what his beef was with Kane circa 2008 and with other bands, like Kaiser Chiefs?
