That\u2019s a terrible way to think about your life, really. I didn\u2019t feel that with this record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as the upcoming live album and concert film, Cocker is also gearing up to curate a new art exhibition at Hepworth Wakefield alongside his wife Kim Sion. Opening in May 2027, the show will bring together a personal selection of works that aim to challenge conventional ideas on what art can and should be, and will encourage attendees to nurture their

That\u2019s a terrible way to think about your life, really. I didn\u2019t feel that with this record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as the upcoming live album and concert film, Cocker is also gearing up to curate a new art exhibition at Hepworth Wakefield alongside his wife Kim Sion.
