The Streets' Mike Skinner Inspired By Michael Palin For New Video
The Streets frontman Mike Skinner will walk to the South of France for his new music video.
The idea for the video, which will accompany The Streets’ new song ‘The Escapist’, has been inspired by the explorer and actor Michael Palin.
"For this work of creative moving imagery I have decided to walk to the south of France.
“I will be relaying the highlights of it with you over the next few weeks of my journey,” Skinner wrote on his blog.
"From a grey Dover (Cliffs) I bid my English and Albion farewell. Long live Michael Palin."
Palin, famously echoed Jules Verne’s novel Around the world in 80 days in a 1988 travel documentary.
The Streets are expected to release their new album later this year.
