Deryck Whibley: I love Sinatra

5th May 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Deryck Whibley says people would be shocked to discover the contents of his record collection.

The 31-year-old Canadian musician is best known as the guitarist and lead vocalist of rock band Sum 41.

Although he has a passion for the punk and metal genres, Deryck believes it is important to embrace all varieties of music, and has a particular penchant for the late crooner Frank Sinatra, who is known for his hit albums such as Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Come Fly with Me and Only the Lonely.

I really love Frank Sinatra hes one of my favourite artists but no one ever believes that I would listen to him! smiled Deryck.

I have a lot of records that people wouldnt really expect me to listen to.

The star has been hugely influenced by his idol, and says the singer has encouraged him to make the most of life. Deryck admired Franks lust for life and plans to maintain an equally positive attitude.

The best is yet to come. Thats a Frank Sinatra quote he enjoyed it all, too, replied Deryck, when Rock Sound magazine asked what he would like his final words to be. (C) Cover Media
