I looked at groups like Quo who played places like Ipswich and I said Why don’t I do this? I mean, that’s the way we do America! So this time that’s what we are doing. No Wembley, it’s three nights at Hammersmith Odeon. I’ve only played there once before! And Arista is part of the new Meat Loaf too?
