David Sylvian plans to re-marry since his 2004 divorce to Ingrid Chavez although a date hasn't been set. Little is known at this point, but the fiancee is an American like Chavez. He and Chavez were married for twelve years and have two daughters together, Ameera and Isobel. Sylvian undoubtedly intends to keep news of this under wraps until after the ceremony.

Trivia
Ingrid Chavez, an artist signed to Prince's Paisley Park Records, sent Sylvian a copy of her first album. He liked what he heard and thought her voice would fit well with some material that both Ryuichi Sakamoto and he were working on for a new Sakamoto release. Chavez and Sylvian quickly developed a bond and decided to travel together throughout the UK and the USA, where they eventually settled after marrying in 1992.

Quotes
It wasn't my natural inclination to get into writing protest songs. But it was a request from Ryuichi [Sakamoto] to give it a bash. And I felt that there was very little dissent being vocalized in the States. I feel furious at what's being done in the name of the American people.
