Wakeman on his grumpy fans

Rick Wakeman says some people know him only as the grumpy man from Grumpy Old Men, recounting a fan who asked whether he had sold his 146 discs.

Former Yes man Rick Wakeman has admitted some people now just think of him as that grumpy guy off 'Grumpy Old Men' rather than as a rock veteran. He told reporters last week: "A very nice elderly lady came up and said, 'I had no idea you played the piano. You're rather good - have you thought of making any discs?' I told her I had actually made 146, and she replied, 'Oh, have you sold them all yet?'. I thought that was lovely".
