To start with, I had this thing about kind of paying tribute to the people I listened to when I grew up. It gave me a chance to explore a different kind of work ethic - a different kind of world. And I’ve been out on tour on my own, as a singer, which was tough but had its merits. It’s already a while since we lost Freddie.
