    Ricky Gervais used to be in a band called Seona Dancing. I remember them because my friend was a huge Bowie fan. The group did okay, but they had one major issue. They were too much like Bowie for Bowie fans and too much like Bowie for people who didn't like Bowie. The influence was clear as day. Their biggest hit was Bitter Heart which is not only brilliant but Ricky sounded a lot like his hero. They had a massive hit in the Philipines with their debut record 'More To Lose' which was seen as a kind of theme for youthful revolution. If you see pictures of Ricky back in the day he was a proper new wave pretty boy.

    Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth for one purpose only - to die on cross for remissions of pre-existing sins of every single person and to resurrect. Jesus Christ providing forgiveness from pre-existing sins for every single person, salvation from eternity in hell and free entry to eternity in heaven for all who repent of sins in Jesus Christ.
    Other side of death is eternity. Eternity in hell where there is no music but wailing and gnashing of teeth. Or eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ and enjoy heavenly music for free.
    Penalty of pre-existing sins already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept HIM. Repent sins in Jesus Christ name. Be saved from eternal hell. Enter heaven through Jesus and enjoy music.
