Rufus Wainwright met Gordon Brown yesterday on BBC current affairs programme Sunday AM with Andrew Marr, where he played his new single Going To A Town.
The PM-in-waiting is supposedly a fan, and asked for tickets to Wainwright's upcoming residency at London's Old Vic theatre. A shameless PR stunt? Well obviously. But what on earth could the iron chancellor and the gay messiah be saying to each other?
