Blossoms’ new music video will star Rick Astley and is based on the headline-grabbing true story of a huge fibreglass gorilla being stolen from a garden centre. The band revealed details of the upcoming promo as they announced details of their highly anticipated fifth studio album ‘Gary’ – named after the primate sculpture that inspired the video. Singer Tom Ogden, 31, said: “The video is directed by myself and my brother Ewan Ogden and it picks up where our last video left off.

“The song is based on a true story I heard on the radio last year – Gary the eight foot fibreglass gorilla was stolen from Reynard Garden Centre in Carluke, Scotland. Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion. “We’ve recreated the story on screen with Rick Astley playing Andrew Scott, the owner of the garden centre, and the band stealing Gary.



“This video was so much fun to make and was shot again on 16mm film, on location around Stockport, the Peak District, and Derbyshire. “The song itself is the centrepiece of the album and after toying with different titles, we kept going back to Gary. In the end, it could only be ‘Gary’.

” The giant Gary primate statue was stolen from a Lanarkshire garden centre in 2023 before being reunited with its owner Andrew a year later. Blossoms’ ‘Gary’ video was directed by Tom and his brother Ewan, with their singer friend Rick, 58, making a comeback for them in the promo after he made a cameo in.
