Bobby Gillespie is one of the most popular and richest Rock Singer who was born on June 22, 1962 in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Scottish lead singer from the Scottish alternative rock group Primal Scream. The group is famous for its songs such as “Movin’ On Up” and “Kowalski.”
He is a successful Scottish musician, akin to Jack Bruce.
As the 1980s drew to a close, Britain’s underground music scene became dominated by the burgeoning acid house scene. Primal Scream became fascinated with the new dance music, and they asked a friend, a DJ named Andrew Weatherall, to remix a track from Primal Scream, “I’m Losing More Than I’ll Ever Have”. Weatherall reworked the song, adding a heavy bass groove echoing dub, deleting most of the original instrumentation (including the layers of guitars), and interjecting layers of samples, including lines of Peter Fonda’s dialogue from The Wild Angels. The new mix was retitled “Loaded”, and it became a sensation. “Come Together”, the first single from their forthcoming third album, was in much the same vein, and was similarly praised.
Gillespie played drums for the band The Jesus and Mary Chain. Prior to The Jesus and Mary Chain, he worked as a roadie for Altered Images and played bass in The Wake. Gillespie was a friend of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s bassist Douglas Hart, who asked Gillespie to join the band after their original drummer had left following the release of their debut single in 1984. Gillespie’s style of drumming was minimal, with his drum kit consisting only of a snare and a floor tom, which he played standing up, an idea he borrowed from The Velvet Underground drummer Moe Tucker. Gillespie has also said that he played only two drums due to his own lack of ability as a drummer.
Two sons are called Wolf as well as Lux together with the stylist Katy England.

The fourth album, Give Out But Don’t Give Up, marked a departure for the band from its original sound, experimenting instead with Stones-influenced hard rock. The album was not well received, and it was a relative commercial failure. It hurt the group’s reputation as innovators, a situation they reacted to with the title track to the hit 1996 film Trainspotting, a return to the dance stylings of Screamadelica. The band continued to work on their next album, entitled Vanishing Point, over the course of 1996, releasing it to positive reviews in the summer of 1997. The ultra-aggressive XTRMNTR followed in the spring of 2000. Two years later Primal Scream released Evil Heat, an album in line with XTRMNTR, and in 2006 Riot City Blues came out. 2008 saw the release of Beautiful Future.
