In [[1971]], Vince signed up with [[Hell for Leather Promotions]], and the "notorious" [[Arthur Korns]] became his manager. At this time, he was now known as "Vince Cosmos", and soon he had a series of powerful dreams in which the [[Galactic Godhead]] spoke and dictated the lyrics of Vince's songs. He then released an album of space themed songs ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') in [[1972]].

[[ | This gave way to the "invention" of [[Glam Rock]], and Vince let go of his previous band, [[The Extraneous Organs]], and replaced them with a new band, [[The Sky Rockets in Flight]], and together, they released an album called [[Those Crazy Martian Cats]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') Vince quickly became a household name, in part for his outrageous [[outfit]]s and persona, but his popularity also lead several [[assassination]] attempts. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') | ||
It was believed that one such attempt was when he suffered from a near-fatal [[shooting]] at the [[Hammersmith Odeon]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') in either 1972 ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos]]'') or [[July]] [[1973]]. The truth of the assassination actually involved a pair of [[Martian Time Agents]] who were sent to assassinate Vince by [[Anthony Marvelle]], but this was foiled when [[Simon (Enter Wildthyme)|Simon]] and [[Panda]] warned Vince of the imminent attack, and Panda scared off the Martians due to there being an ancient [[legend]] of a panda who arrived in a [[Celestial Omnibus|scarlet chariot]] on [[Mars]]. Later, Vince invited Simon and Panda to an after party in gratitude. However, according to this account, these events were in an [[alternate reality]], and that in [[N-Space|Simon's universe]], this was the final retirement performance of Vince Cosmos. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Enter Wildthyme (novel)|Enter Wildthyme]]'') Another assassination attempt on Vince's life was supposed to happen while Vince was performing in front of [[Princess Margaret]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') in the [[Royal Variety]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos]]'') However, the explosives only went off after everybody left. Vince began making public statements about the existence of [[Meercock|Martians]] and the dangers they presented, but these were dismissed as everybody believed that Vince was becoming [[paranoia|paranoid]] and was failing to distinguish fact from fiction.

Vince | On [[May Day]] of 1972, Vince attended a party at [[Hobbe's End]] hosted by [[Iris Wildthyme]], along with a number of other celebrities. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[From Wildthyme with Love (novel)|From Wildthyme with Love]]'') | ||
On [[22 August]] 1972, Vince was interviewed by [[Timothy Bold]] on the [[Radio One]] series ''[[Listen to the Stars!]]''. He told the listeners about his new album, "[[Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos]]'') | |||
[[File:Bryan Only (Russell Harty).jpg|thumb|right|[[Bryan Only]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The B.O Bank Holiday Special! (short story)|The B.O Bank Holiday Special!]]'')]] On [[August bank holiday]] [[Monday]], Vince went on to have a television interview with [[Bryan Only]] on ''[[The Bryan Only Show]]'', and Bryan played a old [[black and white]] clip of Vince's first appearance on the show, where he performed the song "[[Pixies All Around Me]]", one of Vince's reworked J. R. R. Tolkien inspired songs. Taken aback, Vince denied the rumours that the song would be released, as he had felt he had put that chapter of his life behind him; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The B.O Bank Holiday Special! (short story)|The B.O Bank Holiday Special!]]'') despite this, it was re-released without his consent, exploiting the artist's increase in popularity.
