Home is… I’ve just been in Tokyo and Seoul for work and next stop is New York. I’ll be spending the start of 2025 in Oz rehearsing for my Tension World Tour which kicks off in February in Australia.
Where was your first flat in London? When I first started visiting London I stayed in Portobello. I migrated south-west for my first flat in Chelsea. My life there was based around King’s Road, World’s End, Kensington Market, Hyper Hyper etc. I absolutely loved my first flat. I often had one or two girlfriends living with me. Parties were had and mayhem would ensue.
Where do you stay in London? I came across a photo of me and my grandma Nain having high tea at Claridge’s in the Nineties. I still love going there and often stay while I’m in London. Also, I feel like I’m part of the fabric of Chiltern Firehouse after a complete takeover for my 50th birthday. It was such a good party and people still talk about it. What. A. Night!
