I was a big Who fan when I was 15, 16 years old, and I used to go watch them play at the Marquee Club in London as often as I could.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have lots of fans, they are mostly under the age of 12, boys and girls.
I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I've only really gotten into them as an adult.
Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand.
As a student in London, I had seen so many shows, so many plays and had seen so many greats of the day.
I was on the dole once. I loved it. It was only for a couple of years, when I was 20 or 21 and playing in a band. Back then, this was something young folk did - you got your rent paid, a little bit of money to live on, and you loafed around, wrote songs, rehearsed and dreamed of playing Wembley Stadium.
My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.
It's interesting, as I said on the last tour in America, the audience actually came out, they had to have been the kind of fans who listened to my music via their parents, you know what I mean?
When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15.
I grew up a massive Beatles fan.
They played Boston. They played at the Boston Tea Party and through an amazing chain of events I got to hang out with them backstage even though I was underage.
