Kyle Falconer, from Scots band The View, will be appearing on a one off special with George Bowie this Sunday to discuss his ‘new view on life’ since becoming a father.

Kyle talked about having a moment of realisation that he needed to change his ways after seeing other bands becoming cleaner cut, leaving him in the rock’n’roll party lifestyle.

After this he decided it was “time to stop being a nugget.”.

Kyle talked candidly throughout the show of lessons learned as he grew up and moved away from the reputation which had followed him since he came on to the music scene.

He told George Bowie: “For years I kind of had this reputation and it was kind of hard to get rid of it so I thought ‘I might as well just do what I do and just be what everyone thinks I am’.

“Times change, I mean, at the start of 2006 there was kind of this rock’n’roll scene where  nobody would watch or sleep, it was just pretty mad.

Glasgow Times:

“And then 2010 hit, and we were still doing it, and then you've got bands like the Vaccines that have been coming out and they were a bit more clean cut, and we were like oh no, I was like ‘I am not like that at all’.

He added: “I found it hard to kind of get out of that, the behaviour, it was childish behaviour. I think once I had my first kid, I had time to look back on it and go like ‘that was pretty mad behaviour’.

“I started thinking, that day when I was outside when she had just been born and I was smoking a fag ‘oh no, I need to stop smoking’, like that's bad, I started feeling guilt. It opened my eyes a bit. I'm not saying I don't have a party, I still like to have a party but I just think it was time to stop being a nugget.”
