My parents both came from very poor working-class families.

I was at Live Aid the original, looking like Rolf Harris for some reason. I had a really long beard that day for some reason.

I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

I just feel "One More Try" is better lyrically. "Careless Whisper" was written when I was 17 years old, and I had not really experienced anything that strong in my life, so it was a bit precocious.

[My father] was not a musical man.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

I thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.
