Often there's a BA crew, because half the time we stay at the same hotels, especially in Australia. I can remember spending quite a lot of time with crews around the pool there. They always make themselves known to us.
I can't consider myself a drummer any more.
That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'
