Chris Martin introduced him as "the best singer in the world" when he performed "Bitter Sweet Symphony" (which Martin called "the best song in the world") with Coldplay at the London Live 8 concert in 2005. On his second album Human Conditions The Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson guest stars on the song Nature is the Law.
Ashcroft is married to Kate Radley, ex-Spiritualized keyboard player.

A Song for the Lovers
Richard Ashcroft Lyrics
I spend the night
Yeah, looking for my inside in a hotel room
Waiting for you
We're gonna make it tonight
Yeah, something in the air tells me that time is right
So we've better get it on
DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Don't want to wait
Lord, I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
I know but I was scared
Can't you see, oh, I'm moving like a train, into some foreign land
That you got on
A ticket for this ride, but I will
Ooh, this is a song for my lover, tonight
Today, play a song for my lover, tonight
One more for the lovers
Can't stop looking back, no no
