tour profile...

Favourite tour: The Greatest Hits tour, I think it was definitely our best show. It makes a big difference to us when the show’s really good and you’re enjoying performing every night. 
Favourite venue: Probably Belfast, I think it’s one of the best venues in Europe. It’s a great place to bring your family and friends and the audience are always electric and very, very loud.
Standout gig: It was one of the smaller gigs that we’ve done, when we played a place called Port Elizabeth in South Africa. There were about 5,000 people in a college gymnasium and they went absolutely berserk. I remember being on stage and the sweat just pouring off us and wanting to give more and more because of the audience being so electric.
Favourite track to perform live: Probably World Of Our Own. It’s a song you never really get sick of, it’s got a great chorus and the crowd love it every time.
Most memorable fan moment: We were onstage in Indonesia and a fan pretended to faint and got carried over the barrier and she jumped up, ran onto the stage, clean past me, Nicky, Shane and Brian and latched on to Mark, literally jumped on him and held on, and it took about five security to drag her off him.
Most memorable banner: We get some really rude ones, which can be quite funny.
Funniest thing thrown on stage: Granny knickers are always an awful, disgusting thing to throw on stage, especially the ones that practically stretch the size of the room.
Most looking forward to on tour: Just being on tour again is a very enjoyable time. It’s quite relaxing, you don’t have much to do in the day time, maybe play a bit of golf. You just go on stage every night and do your performance.
My dressing room requests: Maybe some sweets and some chewing gum. We get all our shaving gear and stuff like that, and then we always have a few bottles of beer and wine. Nothing more extravagant than that.
