Van Morrison to open up in new movie

Van Morrison

One of Northern Ireland’s most reclusive stars, Van Morrison, is about to reveal the man behind the myth in a behind-the-scenes documentary.

The Belfast-born musician is to tell his own story for the first time in his career in a self-directed documentary chronicling his experiences of reviving the iconic 40-year-old album Astral Weeks.

It would be surprising enough if the reluctant singer-songwriter had agreed to cooperate with a behind-the-scenes documentary — let alone make it himself. The documentary, entitled ‘To Be Born Again’ will be released early next year.

The reasoning behind the film is to “set the record straight” according to the legendary musician, who has spent years avoiding the media.

It follows Morrison through rehearsals for the tour, and features interviews and fly-on-the-wall footage taken over the year.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

Someone will steal credit for your work, which is maddening. Drawing attention to the problem will only make you look petty. You're better off accepting the situation with quiet dignity and grace. Move on to the next assignment, but make sure to sign your name to every piece of work that is submitted. Tell your boss what you are doing on a regular basis. You'll sound like a pest, but at least it's better than getting stabbed in the back.More
