I've always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.
I don't have any social life or anything.
I have a very lively and colourful show. It's two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.
I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.
I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion.
I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.
I was never a good-looking bloke. Not by a long chalk.
I'm just delighted that this woman I love can be a mum again.
I have a voice coach, but only in so much as to make my voice stronger so I can sing for five nights a week, two hours.
I don't enjoy songwriting.
I'm not a natural songwriter.
I'm shrewd about money; I invest well and look after it. But it's in my nature to be generous. I look after people.
I enjoy a glass of wine, and I love my football. I suppose it's because I'm a real working-class.
I've always been able to get inside a song really easily, and if it's my song, I can make it seem honest.
