Nothing can stop him

During one of his European tours, Hawley broke his leg and had to perform in a wheelchair. In September the same year his album was nominated for the Mercury Awards. He worked with the Arctic Monkeys multiple times, providing vocals for the “Black Treacle” and “You And I”. Hawley found his main inspiration in Sheffield and 1960s rockabilly. Also stating that “I’ve only ever wanted to make music that’s soulful, that has some depth and heart in it.” Those are the reasons why Richard chose the way of the music and the covers and names of his albums often refer to his hometown. He is a man who faced a lot of difficulties, but has never given up and is now a very successful English performer.
