- Music legend Edwyn Collins talks about the strokes which have affected his life. He's slowly rebuilding his life, and I hope everything improves rapidly.
As well as being known for his song "A Girl Like You", I particularly loved "Rip It Up", by his band, Orange Juice, released in 1983. I even had a T-shirt back in the day which said "Rip It Up"!

I knew Edwyn briefly in his youth, and I can genuinely say he was one of the wittiest, most articulate human beings I had ever met, a man with a genius for invention. Great to see him fighting back to health. Most impressed with Grace's love and dedication.
Courageous
Edwyn is a genius, still so freakin underrated as a song-writer
If he was underrated they would not be featuring him on the news would they?
@@NickHarman You know what was meant.
That was so cute when his wife said that he was more soft hearted and then he started giggling. That giggling was so cute, god bless Edwyn Collins.
his wife is the angel everyone needs by their side,GOD bless them both forever
go Edwin,
your such a great guy,
I'm sure you'll probably never read this but I remember listening to "a girl like you " whilst at work as a mechanic on coaches when it was a massive hit.
happy days.....
keep up your hard work my friend,get well.
"Girl like you" was our song with my husband who died 11 years ago. Edwyn is a strong and talented man with a lovely lady by his side. Go on pal!

I saw him in concert last night - it was beautiful. A stunning performance.
I have a high respect for his wife who stood by him and supported him when he had his strokes, which affected him mentally and physically and helped him on his road to recovery.
That to me is an example of a spouse who loves unconditionally and who is there in both the good and bad times.
This is heartbreaking! I absolutely adore this musician, artist and incredible human being- So grateful that he has the love and care of his wife and son.
He still has a beautiful voice.
Humble, lovely guy. His wife too. God bless them ♥️
Those two playing guitar together is so moving. True love.
Still listening to your great songs edwyn, always a legend
Oh my God, i didn’t knew. It breaks my heart. Poor guy, i truly hope that you’ll recover completly. Stay strong and may God bless you.
Inspiration.. He always comes across as unassuming and modest although he is one in a million..
Inspirational. I grew up as a teenager listening to You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever. It’s still one of my favourite albums. Every few years I pull it out again. It had a spirit that is uncommon now. A lack of fear to do it your own way. All the best Edwyn.
I remember hearing Edwyn Collins song A Girl Like You as a kid and hearing it at the age I’m at now it’s still amazing as ever from when I heard it being played as a kid. 😄😄😀😀. Such an amazing singer and songwriter. 😄😀.
This mans work means so much to me and I am truly grateful for all the joy his songs have given. It’s so sad that he is no longer fully self sufficient but his bravery and perseverance in what must be testing times for him and his family is admirable. God bless you Edwyn x
A Very brave Man...A Tremendous Inspiration for all of us....
Edwyn you are a inspiration! Keep moving forward.
My sympathy and best wishes to him...and his great gal..! This guy has the music in his little finger,his style is unique ,his music brings joy ! Cheers EDWYN !
lovely couple stuck together through sickness and health , love to you both Tim musician x
Edwyn is a legend
a massive inspiration gives me strength.............a stroke survivor
Thank you Grace for staying by Edwyn's side & living up to your name. Wishing you both abundant joy forever.
I've been listening to Rip It Up every day for the past couple of weeks. It was written about me and a woman I know. The sultry in the rain bit, but she was engaged. Then years later she got in touch, but I didn't want her then. Literally written for me, divinely inspired.
Keep taking that medication.
@@Bpg5012trickkeep eating those bags of d/cks
Nothing but the absolute best to you Edwyn. Your music still resonates and continues to change the terrain for the better. Your recovery is an inspiration.
wonderful man, all the best for his continued recovery and sucess.
Gaun yersel Edwyn. Total legend man. OJ so underappreciated. One of Scotland's best songwriters. Much love
God bless you Edwin and family... thank you for your great music... Keep fighting
got a tear here.
As someone who has had a stroke, this is sad, u literally don’t remember shii, speaking and how the brain works changes, it’s like when u see him stuggle to talk it brings back when I couldn’t do anything like walk and talk, dis vid moved me, I am 18 turning 19 soon and had my stroke just after my 17 bday, everyone should be greatful for what they have, I thought nothing like dis could happen to me n just my luck dis happened to me
Bless him, such a lovely man. Rip it up and start again inspired a whole generation. You can be very, very proud.
Your a true fighter Edwin,all the best to you,may you continue to get better with everyday that passes!
What an awesome guy and his wife is amazing, A great musician and also a great comedy actor, he was hilarious in west heath yard, Love and respect to you edwyn.
Sending prayers filled with grace and love, respect and admiration
That’s beautiful❤️
Crikey Edwyn, didn't know about your health problems until I found this tonight. I so hope you are continuing on the road to recovery.
I went to see you in Manchester just before "Rip It Up" charted and "Flesh of My Flesh" has always been one of my favourite songs of all time.
All the best Edwyn, and thank you so much for your music
Oh my Lord.
I knew, but I had never actually saw this.
Edwyn... remember... Scotland is behind you. :-*
That's a great couple to say the least. I hope he continues his amazing recovery, always a musician ❤️
Edwyn Collins Simply 👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best ever voices, long live Edwin
Canada loves Edwyn.
Great man and the greatest woman!!
What an inspiration, stay strong!
Great guy
I had no idea he was in ORANGE JUICE. Classic.
RIP it up and start again
This is so sad. Breaks my heart. Love Orange Juice... especially Lean Period.
Grace has been with him since roughly 1983 when she started to manage the band. That's dedication for you.
He seems to have a lovely and supportive wife. Take care Edwyn, I hope you doing well.
Best wishes from Brazil 🇧🇷
This is just crazy. I've just watched his great song A Girl Like You that I remember vividly back in 1983, and then this!!! Oh, Edwyn, I hope you beat this awful affliction!!
Bless him ..hope he gets there love his music
Talk about courage!
Omg I'm so sad. I recently learned about Edwyn Collins its so sad to see him struggle to speak and walk. :-(
Wow.........this guy is so uplifting......go man go Edwyn
Love&light...transcending to you and family....
I love these two. Keep on Burnin' Edwyn! xxx
Thank you Edwyn for what you gave us - keep on truckin'.
God bless him, and God bless her. May he recover and enjoy a beautiful life. ❤️
Oh no I didn’t know, this is so sad 😭 I loved that song
Total respect Edwyn ✊✊👊👊
Just watched again,
Edwyn is an inspiration,
When we have a bit of a shitty day we get angry and stamp about,
Edwyn has faced these feelings every moment of everyday since ,
And he still smiles , total hero.
So sad, hope he recovers gradually. Talented guy.
Love Edwyn.
Greetings from🇦🇷.Take care you.❤👏👏👏👏👏😍
This is a testament to the true strength of love and the Human Nature. One does not come back from an experience like this without strength and love surrounding you. I'm so glad that Edwyn was blessed with Grace - both in his wife, and in his circumstance.
Alive and kicking!!!!!!!!!! Still listening in 2020..
I’m always shocked when I haven’t seen someone for 30 yrs and how people change. Once you get to 45 you don’t seem to recognise yourself any more. When I look at eighties stars I think god they have aged then think god so have I where has 30 yrs gone. Hope Edwyn continues to do well.
God bless him great artist.
All the best to Edwyn and hope he recovers. His music is genius and also his acting/writing in West Heath Yard!
Praying for you 🙏❤️ with love from Liverpool England
Hope all the recovery is going really well for Edwyn with his missis standing strong with him. It’s over just so sad to see this great songwriter having to start over. I new he’d had a brain hemmorage but didn’t realise the full extent of it all......stay positive fella👏👏👏
Great talent who’s shows us all what courage is. His songs will live on forever good on ya marra
I did not know this ...remember seeing Orange Juice at the Rothes Arms in Glenrothes i'm a little shocked....so my best wishes from Kaapstad..and in the words of the late Dave Allen...may your God go with you.
Keep going brave man.
Our thoughts are still with you Edwin.
This is absolutely heartbreaking 😢.
Respect mate 👍
Bless him.
Love Edwyn!
What a great man, and, wow, what a woman.
Honestly, why him? There are lots of a-holes around.

Aw, such an amazing story :)
How lucky to have had his career, supportive family, and health.
I love him
Wonderful man, get better soon bro.
Inspirational! ❤
I saw him and his good lady at the latitude festival around this time. He wasn't able to speak as clearly as before but his singing was as good as ever.
Bless them both.
I want to see the movie! I just discovered him and his hit song yesterday!!!!!! Never heard about him before!!!
So sad to see. Fab singer....get well soon!
Lovely, inspirational!
Beautiful Soul 🌠❤️🌹
Sounds like stroke is a humbling experience. It's not just focusing on what you can do, rather than what you can't, it's about what you have gained.
His drawing is superb!!!!!!!
All the very best to you ❤
This is very sad ,but glad he is slowly recovering
You may have lost some physical attributes, but you’ve gained spiritual ones. Best wishes to you Edwin Collins and your wife Grace. Much love to you both.
Poor fella. Like his songs 🎵
well done warrior GOD BLESS X
