That's pretty wild.

Can you imagine?

Anyway, it was pretty beautiful.

But also like, wow, it's 10.30 in the morning and you're warming up and we're only going to be like singing for a bit.

And then I started taking it seriously.

But I was winging it for many years.

But I think mostly it's... I have to say, being a musician and being someone who has been in the fortunate position to do all these big shows and so on, there's one really awful feeling, and that's when a singer loses their voice on tour.

It's awful, because you don't want to let anyone down.

Every single time this happens, my band have been just amazing.

They always supported me because they can see me freaking out.

I remember doing a show in Brisbane once, walking on stage, and I just convinced myself that I could do it.

I'd been to see a doctor and they were like, well, and they'd give me God knows what to try and make it work.

And 20 minutes in, my voice just went, completely went, I couldn't speak, nothing.

And there was 20,000 people there and I walked off and there was booing.

And the guys went back on and they explained people weren't happy about it.

And honestly, that's the most terrible.

You don't want to let people down.

But I've got my head around it now and I forgive myself because it's not my fault.

You know, if it happens, it happens.

It's interesting hearing you relay that experience.
