So what was the best question that someone asked you that evening? I think the best question I was asked was: “What is my guilty pleasure?” and I said Tears for Fears [laughs]. Oh Ian, really?

Give us a quick sprint through one of your tours and what they entail. Well one of the things I’m doing is that, if you pre-ordered the album you cold also pre-order the tour. People love it because they co...
You are well known for writing with your heart firmly on your sleeve, on many subjects such as love, racism, politics and many other nuances and social issues. Did any of that change once you became a father to a daughter, or did it just make the passions more inflamed? [laughs] The second bit! As soon as Rosie was born, I wrote a song for her, and...
