A bona fide outsider from day one, he sought refuge in comic books and costume. “I would often be seen age six or so, pedalling my bike; lolly stick in the spokes of the wheels to make the sound of an engine, dressed as Batman. Other times I would walk around as a ‘Beatle’, complete with black plastic wig”, Adamson bemuses.

At the age of ten he wrote his first song, whilst in the following years Adamson would skip lessons and wait at home for the postman to deliver the latest Alice Cooper import from America
