In a surprising turn of events that has sent shockwaves through both the football and music worlds, former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has announced his foray into the world of rock music. The 49-year-old is set to join the Yorkshire-based indie rock band The Reytons as a temporary replacement for their bassist, Lee Holland, who is currently recovering from a broken arm.
Neville's decision to pick up a bass guitar may come as a surprise to some, but those who know the former defender will attest to his passion for music. The Englishman has long been known for his love of rock and roll, and his decision to join The Reytons seems like a natural progression for a man who is always looking for new challenges.
In a video shared by the band, Neville can be seen undergoing a rigorous audition to prove his worth as a bassist. The audition involved a series of challenges, including a blind taste test between a burger and a salad, and a test of his beer-drinking speed. Neville passed with flying colors, impressing the band with his enthusiasm and determination.
The Reytons, who have been making waves in the UK indie rock scene since 2017, are excited to have Neville join their ranks. The band's frontman, Jonny Yerrell, commented: "Gary literally ticked all the boxes. But I think the only question now is, how good is he actually with the bass?"
Neville's decision to join The Reytons marks a new chapter in his life. After a successful career in football, both as a player and as a pundit, the Englishman is now ready to explore his passion for music. His involvement with the band is sure to generate a lot of interest, and it will be fascinating to see how he fares as a rock star.
Neville is one of the most decorated footballers of his generation. He spent his entire playing career at Manchester United, winning numerous trophies, including eight Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League titles. He also represented England at international level, earning 85 caps.
Since retiring from football, Neville has worked as a pundit for Sky Sports, and has also been involved in coaching. His decision to join The Reytons shows that he is a man of many talents.
