I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We didn't do an American tour because it I know it wouldn't go down well.
We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.
We were really motivated to do something with this record overseas, even though I hate touring.
The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they're available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.
I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.
I've built a solid career there, but America's ten times the size. Now that we're onto the third record, I feel like the stars have aligned and American audiences are embracing my music even more.
I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with.
If you don't tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.
Contemporary bands often will do tour-only releases pressed and sold only in Australia. Crikey!
I think touring is hard.
