I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that, but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear. And yeah, I made a fool of myself in front of the world, but it was also great to pick myself back up and go on tour. ↗

If you want to write something of length, however modern and radical, you must live the life of an elderly gentleman of the 1950s. ↗
