WHAT'S RAY BEEN UP TO?

IT'S ELECTRIC
Ray makes the scene, appearing in the new music video "Electricity" for none other than Sir Elton himself. The video, directed by David Furnish (pictured), was shot at Pinewood Studios.

 

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH
Ray took the stage with fellow lookalikes "Jack" and "Liz" for two versions of "Stars and Their Doubles" in Paris, France and Rome, Italy.

 

RAY ENTERTAINS THE KIWIS
Ray appeared in front of New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark and TV at a show called the Montana's World of Wearable Art. The event, in its 17th year, was held in Nelson (on the South Island of New Zealand) and featured Ray closing the show with three songs for six nights. The show included opera singers, trapeze artists and the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company dancing around Ray's piano!

 

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
Ray was picked to double for Elton where he performs the chorus of his new single (old remix) Are You Ready apt are you ready for the new season. Ray is featured in the long shots seated at the piano, but it might as well be a broomstick because you can't make out the image let alone him. Unfortunately for Ray he was not allowed down on set set while Elton was there but there you go!

 

TO HULL AND BACK
Ray went to Hulls' KC stadium to watch Hull FCs Rugby Super League match vs. Castleford a few weeks prior to Elton's Concert.

 

 

R.E.J. STRIKES BACK!
Ray was in Damstract, Germany, filming for their RTL's version of Stars and Their Doubles. This caused a bit of a stir, with police being called at one point and the camera crew being striped of their film. But to see the result of this mayem, it's being screened on RTL 9.00pm CET time on the 20th September 2003.

 

BLIMEY!
Ray was set up for another Daily Star appearance (at least that's what we're telling the wife). The bodacious babe left tongues wagging and one flabbergasted cabbie!

 

SEEING DOUBLE...
Ray makes a cameo appearance in S Club's upcoming movie, "Seeing Double" due in Spring 2003. Ray graces the silver screen with fellow lookalikes "Michael Jackson" and "George Michael" plus the UK's latest Pop Idol, Gareth Gates.

 

KEEPING THEM IN STITCHES...
Look for Ray on "Stitch Up" on CBBC and BBC1 later this year. Watch as our Elt gives music industry advice to an impressionable young band, with the help of the Prince of Abergerdan.

 

YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK...GOODBYE!
Ray appears on BBC1's The Weakest Link. The show is scheduled to air Saturday, July 6, 2002 at 6.05 pm.

 

EAT THE RICH

DRIVING THEM CRAZY

I WANT MY MTV

RAY GOES POP

Ray won in the Pop category but alas come 2nd overall again (2nd year on trott to "Del Boy" Trotter). An investigation is now process why this has happened cos all the judges had new Rollex'xxs on! We're not saying it's bent but keep your eye on that "Del Boy"

Ray performed a duet with "George Michael" (Andrew Browing) once again with a few bars of "Don't Let the Sun..." that was enough! The show was hosted by Des O'Connor with help from Clare from Steps and tidbits from John Inman, John Altman, Joe Pasqule, Emma Forbes and Robert de Niro? or was it? The judges were Clare Sweeney (Big Brother), Fiona Phillips (GMTV) and Nigel Lythgoe (from Popstars Fame).

 

FORE!
Ray can be seen at the upcoming "Dave Lee's Charity Golf Day" at Chartwell Golf Club Kent on 9th September 2001. Celebs there will include Conley, Pasqule, Lee, Osman etc and from sport Ball, Redknapp, Chivers and loads more!

 

ICH BIN EIN BERLINER
Ray, who is not a doughnut, traveled to Berlin to see his counterpart perform a solo show. The locals weren't quite sure what to think of Ray; to avoid confusion he and fellow Elton fan Andy Thorpe took refuge in the top level of the amphitheatre.
