Rag'n'Bone Man captivated the world with his distinctive baritone voice when he released his debut single 'Human' in 2016. Since then he has released an album by the same name as well as his 'Life By Misadventure' album which came out in March 2021. He has collaborated with big names including Calvin Harris, and he amazed fans with his incredible collaboration with P!nk.

Tom Green got chatting to Rag'n'Bone Man backstage about his music, including the expectations people had for his collaboration with P!nk: "I think when we all heard that we were going to do a collaboration, I think everybody thought it was going to be a big love ballad kind of thing, and it’s totally the opposite. It’s very understated and it’s not about love. It’s about vulnerability."

He released his song 'Anywhere Away From Here' with P!nk in April 2021, and has previously described it as 'an honest reflection of wanting to disappear from uncomfortable situations – about the vulnerabilities that we all face.'

The singer also talked about his experience of working with P!nk: "I feel very lucky to have worked with someone like P!nk because she’s amazing, and that she said yes to doing that song in particular because I know that it wasn’t a kind of big pop smash. It was understated and in that way that she still wanted to do it.

"(She) believed in it as a song, as I did as well. I feel very grateful that I got to do that."

Rag'n'Bone Man also chatted about future collaborations and Tom asked who Rag N' Bone man would chose from the Hits Live artist lineup to collaborate with: "Probably Anne-Marie. I think she’s got a wicked, wicked voice. As I was coming through from doing the pictures, she was singing and I think she’s amazing."

We would love to see that collab!
