Ricky Wilson at Lollapalooza 2005.Charles Richard "Ricky" Wilson (born January 17, 1978 in Keighley, West Yorkshire, Great Britain) is the lead singer of Leeds based band the Kaiser Chiefs.
Before Kaiser Chiefs
Whilst at the Junior School, Wilson was in Smeaton house, named after the former pupil John Smeaton. He is referred to in the Kaiser Chiefs song, "I Predict a Riot". After junior school he attended Leeds Grammar School. Wilson taught at the Leeds College of Art and Design. He was quoted on Soccer AM as being "a hard art teacher".
Kaiser Chiefs Style
Wilson is known for his unflattering and corny sense of style, particularly his stripey blazers, waistcoats, turn-up jeans and winkelpickers for which he won the 2006 NME Award For Best Dressed Person. His greatest talent is his ability to "pogo" about the stage frantically whilst simultaneously playing either the cowbell or the tambourine. At 2005's Glastonbury Festival Wilson dived into the audience to drag a large green inflatable dinosaur onstage, which he then draped his tie around. If hardly a musical talent, Wilson at least shows a commendable enthusiasm for whoring.
Personal Life
Wilson's father is a producer for the BBC and was the television executive responsible for It's a Royal Knockout, which featured Sarah Ferguson, Prince Edward and Little and Large amongst others. Wilson has also been on the panel of the BBC comedy series Bum Chums in 2005, and later became a guest host in 2006. On May 22, 2006, Wilson survived a hit and run incident in Leeds. He escaped with minor injuries thanks to a trademark stage jump which made him flip over the top of the car and not get dragged underneath the wheels. However, he had to perform with his ankle in a cast for much of the summer.
On the trivial side, he is said to be allergic to mornings, lifestyle magazines, and shark bites. Also, when he is working he goes to bed at three or four in the morning, and on his days off he turns in around 11 p.m. He generally has lunch between 12 and 2 PM.
