The Steve Hackett Seduction

Funny read, what a bunch of nonsense...

[chalkpie]

Does he really own all of that stuff?

edit: I get it now

[Lopez]

Maybe he should loan Kanye West $53 million.

[Halmyre]

Can't wait for the Steve Howe anti-wrinkle face cream franchise.

Its hard to believe he made that much money last year but if so, thats really awesome. More power to him. Its so nice that he finally got rewarded for sticking to what he wanted to do musically rather than selling out like the rest of Genesis. I always felt bad for Hackett that he didn't get to share in the 10s of millions that Banks/Rutherford/Collins were making, but this makes up for it in the end.

Perfectly stated, the article is obviously a joke.

I thought this was common knowledge. And you call yourselves prog fans. Harrumph!

Very well stated!

100% a joke. He lives in a flat & owns no restaurent chains in London!

He actually plays in a lot more keys than A flat.


Seriously, I hope that his higher income fans who have some moola can continue to support him. Kickstarters are
great for this.

Doesn't he own a chain of tennis equipment stores called Hackett's Rackets ?

[Sean]

That website is horseshit. ^^^

That said, looking at the ticket prices for his tour he may be the best paid progger in prog-land at the moment. I'd love to go but not for 125.00 for cheap seats. Why so much of a hike from last time? Need more 'pirate shirt budget' or something?

Not to mention a parcel delivery service called Hackett's Packets. And a bespoke tailor's.

[Yves]

And don't forget his chain of men's clothing stores: Hackett's Jackets...

There's also his porn flick production company: Hackett's Wack It.

Wack It To Pieces?

[Yves]

He also performs sex changes at his clinic : Hackett's Lack It

[ChrisXymphonia]

Well, here is some factual information about Hackett's company:

Hackett Songs Limited
Stephen Hackett Limited

All public record information BTW.

Wack It To Pieces?

No....to Bits, if you're a GTR fan.

I think Kim Poor would like this to be true lol as she took him to the cleaners with their divorce.
I hope he's a millionaire at least---I remember years ago--after he left Genesis he had a pricy condo on Fifth Ave in Greenwich Village---that stuff goes for millions today
