Brian Molko of Placebo answers your questions | Do I Wanna Know?

We asked YOU what you wanted to know about Placebo frontman Brian Molko - and Radio X legend John Kennedy put those queries to the man himself. Brian reflects on the band’s long-running commitment to taking risks artistically and shares the very good advice that David Bowie gave him. Mr Molko discusses how Placebo’s early gigs attracted “outsiders", becoming a refuge for people who felt different and ponders who would play him in the film version of his life. We also discover the differences between making Placebo's 1996 debut album and the 2026 reworking RE:CREATED and why Brian thinks Billie Eilish takes FAR too many takes to record her songs.
