Personal Life
In 1998, British tabloid newspaper The Sun outed Fowler as gay; this was troubling for him, as he had not then come out to his family, let alone publicly. He lives with his long term partner Robert in Warwickshire.
He was educated at Tudor Grange School in Solihull, and later studied at The Sixth Form College Solihull where he wrote "Foxy's Folk Faced". Fowler went on to become a journalist, working for the Birmingham Post.
Fowler is a supporter of Birmingham City FC.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unflecked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
“Inexpressibly beautiful appears the recognition by man of the least natural fact, and the allying his life to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
