tour profile...

Favourite tour: I’d say the Greatest Hits, because all the fans believed the press that it was probably going to be our last tour so everyone came to see us. It was just great fun basically, we really mastered it that year.
Favourite venue: Probably Norway, because we always get a really good reaction. But actually just a little bit ahead of that would be Copenhagen, ‘cause the crowd there are always absolutely insanely nuts, in the good sense, and we always get a massive buzz.
Standout gig: I really enjoyed doing Earls Court for five nights. My 22nd birthday party was actually that same week. It was an amazing achievement and we were very, very proud.
Favourite track to perform live..: World of Our Own. The crowd love it and it’s a great song to sing.
Most memorable fan moment: It’s actually not a very nice one, but it shows why sometimes it’s better for the fans not to go too crazy. We were going into a hotel in Glasgow and this girl got pushed and she fell and cut her forehead open on the edge of the footpath, it was horrible. We went to see her in hospital and we always recognise her. It’s memorable for the wrong reasons.
Most memorable banner: It’s quite weird when you see banners for members of the crew and you’re like, ‘OK, what was he up to!’ We never get to the bottom of it.
Funniest thing thrown on stage…Maybe a turnip.
Most looking forward to on tour: The rehearsals, because we haven’t played with the band for ages and it’s good to get back to singing live with a live band again.
My dressing room requests: I just need a big stereo that has loud speakers, a kettle for making hot water and honey before we go on stage, Red Bull or some sort of caffeine drink and a good shower and towels.
