James Morrison Biography
He was born on 13 August 1984.
His siblings are unknown
Morrison’s father, who left home when his son was four, was a lifelong alcoholic who lost his battle with the bottle in 2010.
Paul Catchpole, 60, died of liver disease after a 20-year battle with alcohol. His body was found surrounded by empty beer cans and takeaway.
Morrison comes from a musical family: his mother plays alto saxophone, piano, and organ;
While James Morrison was raised around music and had shown an inclination towards it early in life, it wasn’t until 2006 that he gained global recognition. His debut single – You Gave Me Something –
was an instant hit, quickly making it in the Top 5 Spots in the UK and the Netherlands.Soon after, Morrison released his debut album, Undiscovered, which was received enthusiastically by the audience, leading to a series of positive reviews in the media. Within a week, the album had topped the UK Album Chart, and by the end of 2006, it had sold over one million copies globally.
James Morrison has released five studio albums so far and has won the British Male Solo Artist Award at the 2019 Brit Awards.
In many of his interviews and podcasts, James Morrison has expressed how the moment he first laid eyes on Gill, he felt “an instant connection right away.” Gill had moved in as a lodger at James’ mother’s house with her boyfriend when he was still struggling in his music career.
Because Gill wasn’t single when the two met, Morrison waited two years to be certain of his feelings. The couple had seen both good and bad times together, one of which was the premature birth of their younger daughter, Ada. As a premature infant, Ada was small and frail, which was terrifying for the parents.
Morrison’s last album – You’re Stronger Than You Know – which was released in 2008, was dedicated to Gill.
“The album title is for Gill as she’s been through so much as a woman knowing we could lose the baby at any point, but it’s brought us closer. I feel I can do anything after going through that. That’s what inspired the album and why now is the right time to make music again.”
Morrison’s fifth studio album, You’re Stronger Than You Know, was released on the 8th of March 2019. The album has spawned 2 singles so far, “My Love Goes On”, which features Joss Stone, and “Feels Like The First Time”. He completed tours in South Africa, the UK, and Europe in 2019 as well as playing festivals such across the UK and Europe including Glastonbury.
James Morrison, the singer who gave the music industry cult hits like You Give Me Something and You Make It Real, has suffered a great loss, as his wife, Gill Catchpole, died on January 5, 2024.
Gill was 45 and ran a successful café, Cotswold Sandwich Box, in Whitminster, the village where the family was settled.
The locals describe Gill as “a lovely woman,” mentioning how “they were a beautiful family.” They were surprised to find Gill’s café locked on Saturday morning (January 4, 2024) with police cars parked out, and were notified about Catchpole’s death shortly afterward.
Before Gill’s tragic death, James encountered the loss of loved ones several times, including the death of his father, brother, and nephew – all within three years.
Beyond work, he had a beautiful family of four, including his wife, Gill, and two little daughters – Elsie, 15, and her younger sister, 5-year-old Ada.
