I don't like to play the same set every night. I think the band would prefer the same 12 songs, to be honest, but if I get bored, then I think the audience gets bored too.

I left to go off and do other things. In terms of the group, I'm definitely the boss. I wouldn't say they were scared of me, but they listen to what I have to say.

These are the decisions we make that lead us to where we are today.

I became the singer by default. I didn't know if I could do it. We tried other people, but couldn't find anyone we liked.

When you go on stage and it's your show, you don't really have to work that hard to win that audience because you've already won them.

I wrote the tunes. I was the driving force. The rest were quite happy just to go along with things. But it was more of a democracy then.

I had a good few years where I was a little wild and off the leash. I don't really partake in drugs any more. I occasionally have a little dabble, very occasionally. I have no specific health routine. I'm vegetarian, my wife's nearly 20 years younger than me, good luck, good genes, sunshine.
