A compelling new music video from artist Will Young follows a transgender man as he strips down in a British pub and walks naked through a seaside town.
The video for “Brave Man” follows the young man as he experiences adversity and ridicule while through the town naked. At the end of the video, the viewer discovers that he has, at some point in his life, transitioned.
“Through tough times embracing myself as someone ‘different’ allowed me to embrace all differences in others, to embrace their vulnerability and their struggles as well as their inner strength and determination to be their true authentic selves,” Young reportedly stated. “When I wrote the song, this is what I was referring to  — the determination in modern life to be my authentic self. In this video we see a man determined to be himself in the face of all adversity from inside and outside.”
Check out the “Brave Man” video for yourself above.

Will Young ended up half-naked and covered in paint as he celebrated his chart-topping album in style.
The singer put on a seriously raunchy performance at G-A-Y on Saturday night which saw him stripped down to tight pants.
The venue is famous for its racy shows, and former Pop Idol winner Will lived up to its reputation with his on-stage outfit.
Opening the special gig – which was a celebration of 85% Proof hitting the Number One spot earlier this year – the star looked cool and composed with dyed blue hair and a fairly plain ensemble.
However, it the star didn’t let his fans down at the London hot spot, getting stripped down and covered head to foot in brightly coloured paint and confetti
Will was delighted and proud of his performance, sharing a series of before, during and after snaps to show the different, whilst also revealing a short slow-motion video clip form earlier in the night.
His fans – both those lucky enough to be there and jealous they missed out – approved of the snaps, with many teasingly asked if they could expect the same for his upcoming tour.
One cheeky Twitter user joked: “Looks amazing! Wish I could have been there! Has it given you ideas for the tour?”
Meanwhile, Will recently revealed he has a love of dresses and skirts as he opened up about his style – and insisted there are ways to keep it “masculine”.
He told Sunday Times Style magazine: “My [fashion] discovery is dresses and skirts. Men can occupy a dress and skirt and actually end up looking more masculine. I promise.
“The catwalks have been awash with them for the past two years. I like to anchor a tea dress with boots, and I often throw a jacket on top so the look isn’t so in your face. A tea dress is very flattering for a bloke. The key is remembering to keep it manly.”

#NowPlaying: Will Young – Thank You

Will Young is back with a new video for a song taken from his latest album, ‘85% Proof’.

    • Who? Will Young
    • What? ‘Thank You’
    • Released? 24 July
    • Why #NowPlaying? With album number six receiving critical acclaim, formerPop Idol winner Will Young must be pretty pleased with 85% Proof. His latest single from this album is ‘Thank You’, a slow-burner with a biting end. With a rather languid vocal performance from Young and a fairly morose tone, it’s quite a different musical beast for the singer, though its raw emotional impact is undeniable.
