I didn't tour Europe, because I didn't have any label support.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I toured a lot in the U.K. and Europe solo for a lack of funds, really. I left people I'd been playing with for years at home, just because I couldn't afford it.
I've toured the U.S. every single year and I've put a record out every single year whether it was on a major label or not; that doesn't make any difference to me.
I had to go to Europe to tour and he died on the second day of the tour.
I'm glad that I still have the ability to tour in Europe. I do love it.
The European Tour plays all over the world: from the U.K. to China, from Korea to South Africa, and from the Middle East to southeast Asia.
We didn't do an American tour because it I know it wouldn't go down well.
And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.
Then, in 1983 I went on a very long concert tour all over Europe.
I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.
We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.
