And then, then, uh, uh, you know, Bruce hurt himself.

Uh, our bass player, Bruce, who was my, my sidekick, every, every side project that I ever did, Bruce was always part of it.

And we were just, uh,

Simpatico.

Musically, he was a Beatles guy as I am.

But Bruce heard his back a long time ago and I had been working on a presentation for the band for a Las Vegas residency, which has to be different than what you do on tour.

The idea was to perform the entire High Infidelity record all the way through with a massive audio-visual,

presentation, different, very theatrical in a way, but still rock and roll.

But I put a lot of work into it with our content and lighting director, Paul Dexter.

And when Bruce heard himself, it was a week before we were supposed to open in Vegas.

And I put a year of work into this.

And people buy tickets from all over the world to come for a residency.

And so I didn't want to lose the residency.

And I said, Bruce, you've got to go home, take care of yourself, you know, and he did.

And I just was, if there's a way to salvage this thing, I'm going to salvage it.

And it just so happened that Elton John had retired, and his bass player, who's named Matt Bissonette, Greg Bissonette's brother, all friends of ours, and Matt came out,

learned our entire set list overnight, came in with a stack of charts, read the charts for a couple of days, threw the charts away, and something happened in the band, and I was trying to lift the band.

Now I felt the band lifting me.

And I felt myself, and I was in the midst of this, of taking these vocal lessons, and suddenly there was this new energy.

Someone, one of the guys in Elton's band told me, not long ago, he goes, Matt Bissonette's the kind of guy where any band he's in, the band gets better.
