Why It's The Perfect Time For Alex Turner And Miles Kane To Revive The Last Shadow Puppets What a pair of teases. Since the release of The Last Shadow Puppets' debut album 'The Age Of The Understatement' back in 2008, Alex Turner and Miles Kane have spent the interim years dangling the carrot of a follow-up but never quite coming through with the goods. In 2009, Kane said the pair were looking to record music that year, while in 2010 he confirmed that they would start recording again after he'd wrapped up his solo record. The same assertion was made again in 2012. In 2013, meanwhile, with no material having emerged, Alex Turner said that a second record was "on the cards", that he didn't know when, but he "certainly [didn't] think it would be tomorrow". With hope diminishing, it looked like we could anything from six months, six years to a lifetime away from LSP Mk II. As they strode back out onto the Finsbury Park stage, arms around each other's shoulders and soaking up the crowd's excitable roars, you could see that quality is still there.

Sean Bean Early life[edit] Bean was born in Handsworth, a suburb of Sheffield, which was then part of West Riding of Yorkshire (the County of South Yorkshire was created in 1974). He is the son of Rita (née Tuckwood) and Brian Bean.[3] He has a younger sister named Lorraine. His father owned a fabrication shop which employed 50 people, including Bean's mother, who worked as a secretary. Despite becoming relatively wealthy (his father owned a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow), the family never moved away from the council estate as they preferred to remain close to friends and family.[4] As a child, Bean smashed a glass door during an argument, which left a piece of glass embedded in his leg that briefly impeded his walking and left a large scar.[3] This prevented him from pursuing his dream of playing football professionally. Career[edit] Bean starred in the first season of Game of Thrones, HBO's adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R.R. Image[edit] Acting style[edit] Personal life[edit]

One of the strangest and most frightening things we can do is stop and consider how we got where we are. How far our lives are from what we expected, and from what was expected for us. Imagine what it must be like for Sean Bean. How did this confused Sheffield welder, a tattooed tough nut from the football terraces, become one of the most sought-after narrators in the land, a stalwart of period dramas and, for God's sake, even a super-sophisticated adversary of James Bond? He was born Shaun Mark Bean on the 17th of April, 1959, in Sheffield. For a while after the accident, Sean couldn't walk properly - a very bad thing as all he wanted was to play football for his local heroes Sheffield United (not that having one leg necessarily disqualifies you from their First Team, you understand).

Does Sean Bean Really Die More Than Other Actors? One does not simply… assume. Actor Sean Bean has been dying over and over again for 20 years. He’s been dropped from a satellite dish in Goldeneye, shot through the neck with a grappling hook in The Island, peppered with arrows in The Lord of the Rings, and decapitated in Game of Thrones. But with the number of Sean Bean fatalities caught on camera brought back into the spotlight with his new show Legends, maybe it’s time to put the many demises into perspective. Start looking at the numbers, and many leading actors have died at least a few times. A long enough career can rack up the kills. I crafted the following chart to find out: Click to enlarge! It looks like the “walking spoiler” meme has a grain of truth to it. However, even though Bean has perfected his “I’m dying” face, he still hasn’t died the most on screen. But the top honor of most on-screen deaths goes to wonderful character actor John Hurt. Maybe it should be #DontKillJohnHurt. So is Sean Bean a walking spoiler alert?
