Cyanyde Just looking at the pictures of him and his family TOGETHER (via his official FB page)...not just vacation things, but normal round-the-house stuff, wishing each lady in his life a Happy Birthday or Anniversary...their family is pretty dang solid!
Average kid: I went to summer camp during my summer vacation Persia: I sang on stage at rock concerts and festivals backing for a rock act with a major cult following.
This is awesome!!!!! Gary has such a HUGE smile on his face, full of pride for that courageous Persia performing in front of 3000 people. Tears down my cheeks. Very emotional performance!
Seriously, she is obviously very nervous but ends up doing AMAZINGLY! That little lady is going to be a big star one day. I love seeing how giddy Gary is about having this moment with her, watching her sing live in front of a big crowd for her first time. Wonderful memory to catch on film. Thank you for sharing!!!
This, its so great to me simply to see how proud and happy he is to be performing with his daughter, she is obviously a bit out of comfort zone here (I believe this was her first stage performance with him) but in more recent videos she is doing great. Hope too see what the future brings for the Numens, their vocals complement each other so well.
she was amazing..chatted with Persia before the show and she said she was nervous but so wanted to do it. Her Mom and sisters were down at the front to watch her...
I searched this up because I heard his interview on Sirius today. He said she has NO experience on stage at all, and had never even held a microphone before. Gary said he was so proud he had a hard time keeping it together on stage. That kid has talent! Interesting guy. He's amazingly humble, and genuinely loves touring and doing his thing. Never gets tired of it. And if this song is any indication he's nowhere near running out of ideas. I loved his story about eating at a restaurant in Tokyo with Queen. The band "Japan" had invited him to tour....Japan....with them, so he flew over there to meet them. At which point they simply blew him off. Mystified, he gave up and took the train back to Tokyo, where he found out Queen was in concert. He grabbed up a ticket. At the venue there was a big ruckus, and he realized it was because HE was there, not so much Queen. Anyway, he met Queen backstage after the show and they invited him to get some food. At the restaurant they asked him what he wanted, and he said, "Oh, that's ok. I don't like Japanese food. I'll just sit here." Someone in the band whispered a few words to an assistant, and at the same time the food came out for the band the assistant arrived with a bag full of McDonalds for Gary.
I seriously can't stop watching this. This just goes to show that even the most depressed people can have the biggest hearts. Gary is clearly doing everything he can to make her feel at home on stage, and even though she doesn't move a muscle, he's having so much fun just working with his daughter. She'll be something big some day. Count on it.
I got tears when he gave her a hug..I do know what it feels like to be loved by a father...my dad was always proud of me, even when I saw myself as a failure..and I do miss him with all my heart....Gary must be so haopy.
goodysun I lost access to my Storm Within channel, so I can only reply with this one..thanks for understanding and I hope you find peace within this realm
And here I am, wishing I knew what it was like to have a dad love me so much...and not just because “Oh SHIT, it’s Gary Numan, etc.” I just love seeing the joy in his eyes hugging his child...and this vid could’ve been featuring anyone...
Persia was so nervous. You could tell. But my goodness. She pulled that off so brilliantly, especially for her debut. It was nice to see that she started to relax after the first part where she sang though. That's almost always what happens! :) Stage fright mellows out after you start a bit. These two are an amazing duo, and I'm glad someone caught this on film so well. I look forward to seeing what Persia can do--especially if there are any more songs to be released like this one.
This song is such an earworm at the moment, and this video is awesome, Persia did amazingly well despite being so obviously nervous, kudos to both Father & daughter!
Gary's just so into the music and bouncing around the stage. Meanwhile, Persia's like, "Dad...get back here... O.O" Seriously though, such a great performance from these artists. I can't wait for the album!
Listening to Pleasure Principle and Telekon etc over 35 years ago I never, ever once imagined I would be seeing this. This is the future of Numanism. Brilliant!
Totally blown away at how good they both were, one of the best gigs I've ever been too, venue was terrible though. 🤖🎹🎤🔊💣💥☠👌🏻 many thanks for posting 👍🏻
Just when I thought I couldn't love Numan any more, now here is his most endearing performance of all: that of a loving, proud father. Look how happy he is to have her share this with him. He's come a long way from the stiff, uncomfortable 20 year-old he used to be. And Persia's inherited dad's talent. She did great in the video. I hope she goes into music too, I'd love to see what she will come up with.
Absolutely brilliant, I bet if he was told 35 years ago you'd be singing with your daughter on stage, he wouldn't of believed it. Can't wait to see him again later on this year.
I don't like live shows, I don't like fan shots ... but hey ... there are rare exceptions and this is certainly one. Loved it! I remember hearing Cars on the radio in 1980 ... it was the only time I ever called up a station to ask "What was that!!"
Great quality video. I was there. She done really well and only 11! Gary is well chuffed and quite rightly. Seen some of Persias vocals on Gemmas uploads and she has a genuine sweet voice. A unified sigh from the crowd!
Excellent performance , how proud could a dad be with his daughter..shes awesome and gonna be a star thats a fact...Gary is back cutting edge as usual just as he was all those years ago...damn fine
Great gig, was a pleasure to be there and the band were awesome, shout out to the drummer and bass player especially. Persia did an amazing job but I would say you'll always get the love from a Liverpool audience. So many top bands over the years have said playing a gig in Liverpool is the best in terms of crowd vibe and reaction.
Simply amazing and I can’t stop playing this song in my head and live. I was an avid Numan fan in the late 70s and 80s then drifted away from the darker stuff he did more recently. Then this, utterly mind blown by the video and live shows. Persia is awesome. Album purchased !!!
Bless Persia for getting up there and singing with her dad. She did amazing despite being openly so nervous! What a brave talented young lady. Well done Persia! I love this song, Gary sounds awesome, I can't wait to see this show. Thanks for sharing your brilliant video, I love it! x
dreamriver57 most fan-shot videos totally suck. This one doesn't. I have NO idea how you pulled you this off, but you need to know - OMG this is the best fan-shot I've ever seen in my life :) This one was especially important - it's Persia's debut. So thank you so much! :)
That's it girl! Feel the fear and do it anyway. She slammed it! I love her dad and she is sounding great, even though she's nervous. Great fan video btw.
Whoever put this up Thankyou so much, I couldnt go to this one, utterly gutted, that was so lovely to see him sing with Persia shes a star in the making and beautiful and the hugs between them at the end was adorable, im so pleased you've recorded this im so happy ☺👍❤🎸
Smiling so big through happy tears that it hurt! What a completely epic moment for father and daughter. I can hardly wait to experience this tour later this year.
A unique moment, captured excellently by dreamriver57 ( thanks for your efforts..really appreciated) . I've been a fan since I bought "bombers" in '78 , but never envisaged the day when he'd be outshone on stage by his very young daughter. She has the voice , and certainly the guts, to make it on her own one day. Well done young Persia!
Gary could not hide the pride and joy he had singing with his daughter. It looked like he wanted to cry. A great moment..
The guy is a treasure.
He did. He says he could barely keep it together.
dad of the century I'd say he's amazing and has an amazing family ♥
Maybe, but he does have Asperger's.

Joanne Gagnon: agreed. It's one of the most precious things I've ever seen on UA-cam.
It looks like Gary's having trouble singing with such a huge smile on his face haha
dad and daughter stunning.
coldwarning1979 Stunning, it is not!!
Seriously, she is obviously very nervous but ends up doing AMAZINGLY! That little lady is going to be a big star one day. I love seeing how giddy Gary is about having this moment with her, watching her sing live in front of a big crowd for her first time. Wonderful memory to catch on film. Thank you for sharing!!!
She is terrified!
she's doing better than I would and I'm nearly twice her age
his daughter
Is she reading a teleprompter???????
This, its so great to me simply to see how proud and happy he is to be performing with his daughter, she is obviously a bit out of comfort zone here (I believe this was her first stage performance with him) but in more recent videos she is doing great.

Love this song, Gary you must be so proud of Persia, her voice adds so much to this song
she was amazing..chatted with Persia before the show and she said she was nervous but so wanted to do it. Her Mom and sisters were down at the front to watch her...
amazing performance for a first time - never mind from one so young - she's a real star like her dad.

I had tears in my eyes watching that. She was so nervous but totally nailed it. A credit to you Gary
Gary Numan has one of the most unique voices in the music industry. He's magnificent.
Persia was so nervous. You could tell. But my goodness. She pulled that off so brilliantly, especially for her debut. It was nice to see that she started to relax after the first part where she sang though. That's almost always what happens! :) Stage fright mellows out after you start a bit.

Hard to believe Gary is almost 60! Still making good, relevant music with the energy of someone half his age.
This song is such an earworm at the moment, and this video is awesome, Persia did amazingly well despite being so obviously nervous, kudos to both Father & daughter!
Fantastic !!! Well we had Frank and Nancy Sinatra now we have Gary and Persia Numan, Thanks for posting this..superb.
Don't forget Frank and Moon Unit!
Mr Numan. How utterly awesome was that? You win Proudest Dad Ever, forever! Brought a genuine tear to my eye.
Fantastic achievement of Persia! What a nice contact between father and daughter. I started crying when I saw this!
me too
Lovely, precious moment in history. Plus, I can no longer hear this song without Persia's voice.
Fantastic!! A whole new approach to Dad dancing!!!
It's so lovely to see Dad and daughter on stage together! She's a real little trouper!
Absolutely WOW!!!! What an incredible young lady. Dad is obviously and rightly proud. AWESOME!!!!
Gary's just so into the music and bouncing around the stage. Meanwhile, Persia's like, "Dad...get back here... O.O"
Seriously though, such a great performance from these artists. I can't wait for the album!
Listening to Pleasure Principle and Telekon etc over 35 years ago I never, ever once imagined I would be seeing this. This is the future of Numanism. Brilliant!
Persia has a fabulous voice and Gary has worked it into this song perfectly. Look forward to hearing more of her in his music!
Gary is so fucking cool !!! I've had the privilege of meeting him and his wife back in '91 or '92 and what wonderful human beings. My idol.
This is beautiful. My God, how awesome would it be to see that song live with the both of them. Persia sounded amazing.
Awesome! Well done Persia! Love how her Dad calls her "Pension" at the end!
Totally blown away at how good they both were, one of the best gigs I've ever been too, venue was terrible though. 🤖🎹🎤🔊💣💥☠👌🏻 many thanks for posting 👍🏻
So how many thumbs up can I give this video? Great job, Persia!

Bloody brilliant Gary and daughter,,,I remember seeing you live over 20 years ago,,still love you dude,,awesome!!!!!111
Absolutely brilliant, I bet if he was told 35 years ago you'd be singing with your daughter on stage, he wouldn't of believed it. Can't wait to see him again later on this year.
Gary has brought the 80's back.
The future of Numan just arrived
when he's ready to retire, she can just take over the band! :D
I would actually be 100% okay with that
She is incredible! If she is in our musical future, then I feel some hope. It's like seeing the infancy of Gary Numan's brilliance.
I don't like live shows, I don't like fan shots ... but hey ... there are rare exceptions and this is certainly one. Loved it! I remember hearing Cars on the radio in 1980 ... it was the only time I ever called up a station to ask "What was that!!"
This is fab-thanks for sharing, numan and daughter, Persia did brilliant, you can see how proud Gary was.... Totally Awesome
Great , Great , Great.Persia lovely voice , great song , great show . God save Mister Gary Numan.
Goosebumps! She's terrific! How special!!!!!
Great quality video. I was there. She done really well and only 11! Gary is well chuffed and quite rightly. Seen some of Persias vocals on Gemmas uploads and she has a genuine sweet voice. A unified sigh from the crowd!

Great show Gary. Amazing as ever. Love the music....it never ceases to amaze me. Persia is beautiful. Great duo!
One day, when she's a star, we'll be telling our kids, "I used to listen to her dad.."
And saw her perform with her dad on stage and in video. :)
Had goose bumps thru this entire video. This surpasses epic by light-years. and that's an understatement. WOW is all my bitty mind can say.
Great gig, was a pleasure to be there and the band were awesome, shout out to the drummer and bass player especially. Persia did an amazing job but I would say you'll always get the love from a Liverpool audience. So many top bands over the years have said playing a gig in Liverpool is the best in terms of crowd vibe and reaction.
Brilliant performance by Gary, the band and wonderful Persia.

He looks so proud like "everyone look at my baby!", it's so cute!!!
brilliant job and I feel so warm inside my heart and it's not even my daughter great job daddy Gary
dreamriver57 most fan-shot videos totally suck. This one doesn't. I have NO idea how you pulled you this off, but you need to know - OMG this is the best fan-shot I've ever seen in my life :)
This one was especially important - it's Persia's debut. So thank you so much! :)
Josie Lindström My thoughts exactly. This video is a one in a trillion chance to get it right. There was only ever one chance, and they got it right.
That's it girl! Feel the fear and do it anyway. She slammed it! I love her dad and she is sounding great, even though she's nervous. Great fan video btw.
That amazingly sincere hug from Gary at the end of the song, so proud, almost made me cry.
They'll both look back on this as one of the coolest things they ever did. It's adorable.
Love his comment at the end... Pension... a very talented young lady. I wish her success in everything she chooses to do.
Goosebumps 😃
She's brilliant, so natural and what a voice! The best thing I've heard from him for ages :)
Whoever put this up Thankyou so much, I couldnt go to this one, utterly gutted, that was so lovely to see him sing with Persia shes a star in the making and beautiful and the hugs between them at the end was adorable, im so pleased you've recorded this im so happy ☺👍❤🎸

Oh bless her. Voice of an angel.
Stunning, Gary was so proud of her.
Wow, brilliant.Goosebumps is definitely the word.
tears in me ole eyes .... Persia is magic and so is her Dad!
I thought Cars was a classic, but he has found a way to get back into our consciousness.
Absolutely adorable! Was so great to be there for this :) Thanks for sharing.
A unique moment, captured excellently by dreamriver57 ( thanks for your efforts..really appreciated) . I've been a fan since I bought "bombers" in '78 , but never envisaged the day when he'd be outshone on stage by his very young daughter.

Gary has got to be so proud as a father. This song is super good.
That was special. So glad I got to see it live in Liverpool

Most kids her age would never have any idea who he was.
Awesome performance from Persia and Gary 😊

Flawless and breathtaking.
Awesome work Numan's! Team performance with the support crew in the crowd also.
