John Cooper Clarke, a legendary figure in British poetry and punk, is about to make history by headlining a major arena.
While many consider him a national treasure, Clarke humorously rejects the title, preferring to remain defiantly himself.
His work has influenced generations, notably through the Arctic Monkeys' hit song based on his poem 'I Wanna Be Yours'.
From gritty punk clubs to a massive arena stage, Clarke's journey exemplifies a career of artistic rebellion and lasting impact.
