Watch: Rufus Wainwright – Out of the Game (Best Fit Session)
Seven albums of original material, a Judy Garland tribute, numerous film appearances, soundtrack contributions, ballets, operas and even a couple of Juno awards have marked Canadian singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright as something of a renaissance man.
Couple this with an utterly distinct personality, that incredible family and a biography littered with tragedies and triumphs and you have a figure who nudges towards legendary status with every release, interview or gesture.
And so for our ninety-second Best Fit Session, we bring you the man himself - fresh from singing for the queen at Westminster Abbey a day earlier – and the title track from the Mark Ronson-produced new album ‘Out of the Game’ for our latest Best Fit Session. The album’s out on 23 April via Decca/Polydor.
