Gurrumul keen to come home


Fairfax newspapers published an article this week about Gurrumul's tour to Europe. Having had his biggest international touring year yet, Gurrumul's friend, musician Michael Hohnen (both pictured), told Fairfax the Elcho Island superstar is homesick and wants to come back to the NT and his family. While the tour has been incredibly successful - boosting sales of Gurrumul's debut album to in excess of 250 000 copies - Hohnen says Gurrumul prefers "sitting eating stingray, singing songs, telling stories, just being social".  A recent duet Gurrumul recorded with Sting of the Police hit 'Every Breath You Take'  will air on French television on December 16.
