Singer Gary Numan has said that he has a "very normal" family life, despite living in a castle-like house with a "20 foot bronze dragon in the front garden".

The British singer-songwriter, whose new album debuted at number two in the charts and who is about to embark on a UK and European tour, also admitted that he still craves success after his decades in the music industry.

The 59-year-old told Hello! magazine: "I'm content with where I am but I'm still not where I want to be.

"I want number one albums and singles and to do arena tours. Not that many people who were around when I started are still around now."
