Michael Crawford actor in Sydney for ABC Shop Media Gig; New CD For Fans The famous Brit actor Michael Crawford today did an in store appearance at the ABC Shop, Queen Victoria Building to promote his new CD 'The Story of My Life'. The original Phantom Of The Opera credits the launch of a new career retrospective The Story of My Life in Australia for inspiring his desire to sing again. The 70-year-old musical theatre genius, who now resides in New Zealand's North Island, has been quite recluse like for the past few years after suffering chronic fatigue syndrome but now hopes to start "practising" his voice again soon. Crawford told media the baby boomer love affair with the soundtrack of their youth was to blame for vintage rock, pop and theatre stars continuing their careers well beyond retirement. "Look at The Stones; they were the worst example of the way to live and there they are still on the road filling stadiums," Crawford said. "We all have got our own audience but with the baby boomer era there are a lot of people between 50 and 75 who still love music. It's a massive audience who are still around and went to see the acts they saw when they were 19. They go and see those people because there hasn't been anyone to supersede them." Crawford invested 30 years practising vocal exercises five hours a day to keep his voice in shape for his musical theatre career, which bloomed after playing Frank Spencer in the TV comedy Some Mothers Do Have 'Em. "That's what it entails to hit these notes and to have that sensitivity in your voice. It's athletic, this singing," he said. "I don't know if I would have the strength to do some of the notes - I'd really have to go back and work hard." Crawford has been a big hit with Aussie audiences throughout his acting and singing careers, selling more than one million albums here. Who can forget catchphrases "Oh, the cat did a whoopsie in my beret" and "Betty". Then there's his rendition of the Phantom's signature anthem The Music Of The Night. Despite his many sold-out concert tours of Australia, Crawford regards himself more as an "actor/singer" than a recording star. "I am an actor/singer more than anything; I tell silly stories about myself, which is why people come to see me. We have fun," he said. ABC Shop promo...
