Fran Healy moved to Glasgow as a youngster and was brought up in the city. After living in Hamiltonhill and the Wyndford, Healy was a pupil at Holyrood secondary school in the Southside of the city where he made his first appearance on stage.
He joined Travis after becoming a student at the Glasgow School of Art where everyone in the band went apart from drummer Neil Primrose. The band would shoot to international success with their second album 'The Man Who' which was released in 1999, coupled with their appearance at Glastonbury Festival.
Glaswegians will be able to catch the band later this year as they support The Killers during their three nights at the OVO Hydro.

“Me and my friends used to go to the indie night on a Thursday at Fury Murrys in Glasgow when I was 18 and the music would be blasting out and we’d be sitting at the table having a drink. I’d stand up and I’d scream at the top of my voice, because you couldn’t hear me: You will all buy my records!" | Google Maps
