The article traces Hawkes’s career evolution, his ongoing touring with Indi, and his recent artistic choices and achievements.

Hawkes praises his son Indiana (Indi) as much more rock and roll than he ever was, and notes that Indi will play lead guitar on Hawkes’s Smash It to Pieces UK tour in March, with dates in London, Glasgow, Manchester, and Leeds.

The father-son duo have previously performed together, including a June 2024 performance captured on Hawkes’s official Facebook page.

Hawkes describes Indi as a skilled guitarist who wouldn’t be in his band otherwise, and mentions Indi’s prior onstage collaboration with him in June 2024.

Hawkes reflects on his enduring passion for music and career, including past hits like The One And Only, which topped the UK charts for five weeks in 1991 and its relation to Buddy’s Song.

The first single from Living Arrows, Get A Hold Of Yourself, nearly didn’t make the album but was kept due to its potential and timing.

Recent media appearances include BBC Celebrity Mastermind (topic: The Beatles’ White Album) and ITV Celebrity Big Brother, where he finished fifth earlier this year.
