| “Oh, no. The generation that remember the Who will still relate to the lyrics. Songs become a part of people’s memories, it does not matter about the timescale. Due to the drug culture back then, a person may not have lived to be old and that is also relevant today. | ||
| “When I sing a song now I know that someone will remember the time they got engaged or were married, or had their first baby. I’ve seen people in the front row knowingly nudge each other as I start a song, it brings back a special moment.” | ||
| He is overwhelmed by the support of his fans. “Some give up their holidays to follow me on tour. And often before a show I will take a peek at the audience and see familiar smiling faces and reunions going on.” But you do wonder if the adoration ever gets him down and whether he fears obsessed or deranged fans, especially in the light of the murder of his close friend Jill Dando. | ||
| He explains that he feels secure where he lives and applies the philosophy of his faith to her death. “I believe that tree will allows us to choose to do good or bad. The person that killed Jill carried out a despicable act, a bad, evil thing - and poor Jill was the victim of his anger. But she had a strong faith. I believe that Satan was smirking on that day. Jill was not perfect but I truly believe she is in a better place. With regards to my faith I cannot say why it happened to Jill but one day we will know. | ||
| “What I do know is that they have found a man guilty. Do you know, when the investigation started certain people looked through all her private hooks and diaries trying to find skeletons? They did not find a thing. I know this because I am good friends with her fiancé, Alan Farthing. Though the loss of Jill was tragic, for me it was another step of growth in life and a number of us grew. If something like that happens to me I would like to think that my friends would philosophise and say, ‘Through this we can grow’.” | ||
