No matter whether you are black or white, man or woman, gay or straight, Christian, Muslim, or Jew, we all share the same emotions, the same human condition.

It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

To get up on stage with a band is fantastic. To play songs to an audience is mindblowing.

Being sent away to boarding school at seven is as great an inspiration as any songwriter could have - to be taken away from one's family and locked away for 10 years. It does create an incredible intensity of emotion.

And the one job my father knew of, that he'd had experience of himself, was the Army, so he could help me in that direction.

If the Army helped towards my tuition fees I would then give them four years of my life.
