The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Culture Club: David Gray · 13 May 2026 podcast

Sometimes technology has played such a part that I'm not quite sure how I'm going to flesh the music out on my own.

So but with this record, I feel like I can.

So in the future, as these songs come into the set list, it may well be that they come on.

Into the set in a different form I break it down I think that if a song is really got what it takes then when you bring it back to its bare Essentials it should almost be more than when you put the band behind it in some senses or capable of having the same kind of impact but in a different way

Yeah, I don't have a management program except just use it regularly because it's a muscle.

So before a tour starts now, the adrenaline is already starting to simmer, knowing that I've got gigs in a couple of months.

And I know that a few weeks out from rehearsals, I'll start practicing.

and by that i mean i'll do an hour straight or something of just one song after another partly to get my concentration on to remember all the songs and the intricacies of the songs but also just to get my voice fit so that when i go into rehearsals i'm just not on the back foot and it just knocks 10 tons of crap out of me because singing all day long with the band is very very tiring i mean a gig is a couple of hours it's a different intensity when you're on the stage the difference between a training session and a match

It's the real thing.

You're not going to hold back.

You're going to go.

But I've also learned to manage just where I put the notes and how hard I hit them a little better.

And I don't drink and smoke like I used to when I was a younger man.

I'm more careful with that as well.

So it's a general sort of energy management program.

looking after my voice is the main preoccupation on the tour, full stop.

And it's paranoia, you know, because it's a beam of energy and you're basically very energy short.

You're just being shot around from one place to another and losing sleep here, there and everywhere.

And you've got to do another gig, another gig, another gig.

So that's the challenge.
