Dexys’ Kevin Rowland: ‘The stars were aligned for us’

Kevin Rowland has told the full story of Dexys, and shed light on the band's future, in the new Uncut.

The singer and songwriter explains in June's issue, which is in shops on Thursday, April 26, that he believes, despite their many lineup changes and years of silence, that the group were somehow blessed.

The new issue of Uncut, dated June 2012, is in shops from Thursday, April 26.
