This is going to take me weeks.....

There may be others, but none that spring to mind. Probably for the best as few rock singers would be suited to riding a bicycle, much less flying planes.

Worthwhile remembering that before days of Simon Cowell, artists used to have to work their way up the ladder of success and stardom whilst supporting themselves however they could. One of my regular artists is a multi-platinum Brit Award holder who was discovered whilst doing pub gigs as a plasterer, Phil Collins was a window cleaner - etc. However, I feel a special place in our hearts will always be the knowledge that Sir David Jason was an electrician.

Never mind.

Apparently he also trained as a sparky after leaving the RAF.

Of course he found it far more profitable to stuff his arm up the backside of an emu, a sin for which the world cannot forgive him...

Oddly enough I would struggle to name more than a few 'stars' who were granted a pass to stardom.

It's nice to know that many of those who made it big had to go through the sort of sh!t the rest of deal with. Factory work, manual labour and even, in the case of Ozzy, giving up a moderately successful career in crime.
