Neil Finn to shift base to Britain - report
19 June 2006
New Zealand music legend Neil Finn is shifting his family to Britain after his teenage son was accepted into a prestigious Welsh college, it was reported yesterday.
Finn, who has just completed a farewell Australian tour with the band Split Enz, told guests at a Sydney show after-party of the planned move from their Auckland base, the Sun Herald reported.
While they will keep their house in Auckland, Finn and wife Sharon decided on a move to Britain when son Elroy, 16, was accepted into Atlantic College.
Most teenagers selected for the school are awarded scholarships for their potential leadership abilities when it comes to aiding international relations, whether it be through politics, community work, arts or culture.
The Finns' eldest son Liam is currently in London with his band Betchadupa.
Split Enz completed their five-city Australian tour in Perth on Friday night.
The band said earlier in the year they hoped to play more shows in New Zealand, but no dates have been announced.
