James Allan (born 21 September 1979) is the lead singer and guitarist of the Scottish rock band Glasvegas , and a former footballer .
Early and personal life [ edit ]

Allan played as a winger for Falkirk , Cowdenbeath , East Fife , Queen's Park , Gretna , Stirling Albion and Dumbarton ,[4] Scottish Football League .[5] 2000–01 Scottish Third Division .
Music career [ edit ]
During his football career, Allan decided to write songs and form a band. After touring Scotland for several years Glasvegas released four singles, before eventually being signed to Columbia. His songs deal with social issues such as psychopathic fathers ("Daddy's Gone "), murder ("Flowers & Football Tops ") and the challenges of social work ("Geraldine "). He also wrote about homosexuality ("I Feel Wrong").[6]
On 8 September 2009, a Tuesday, bandmates Rab Allan and Paul Donoghue announced that James Allan had been missing since the previous Friday, which resulted in a no-show at the Mercury Prize awards ceremony.[7] [8] Kings of Leon . It is thought that the lack of communication sourced from Allan being without a mobile phone for six months, according to bandmates.[9]
Allan cites Elvis Presley and Phil Spector as his main influences.[10] Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen is one of his inspirations.[11]
