My Goal In Life Has Been To

Dad Once Said To Me That Should He Pass Away, If There Was Some Way Of Letting Me Know He Was Going To Be Ok - That We Were All Going To Be Ok - The Message Would Come To Me In The Form Of A White Feather. Then Something Happened To Me About Ten Years Ago When I Was On Tour In Australia. I Was Presented With A White Feather By An Aboriginal Tribal Elder, Which Definitely Took My Breath Away. One Thing For Sure Is That The White Feather Has Always Represented Peace To Me.

People Are Generally Badly Advised When They're Starting Out In The Creative Field.

Dad Made Me Laugh A Lot. He Was A Real Comedian. He Had A Real Sarcastic Sense Of Humour, He Could Really Make A Fool Out Of People. I Have To Watch It A Little Bit, Because I Caught That Habit From Him. I Was Really Fond Of Him. He Was My Idol.

I Know That Dad Was An Idol To Millions Who Grew Up Loving His Music And His Ideals. But To Me He Wasn't A Musician Or A Peace Icon, He Was The Father I Loved And Who Let Me Down In So Many Ways. After The Age Of Five, When My Parents Separated, I Saw Him Only A Handful Of Times, And When I Did He Was Often Remote And Intimidating. I Grew Up Longing For More Contact With Him But Felt Rejected And Unimportant In His Life. ... ... While Dad Was Fast Becoming One Of The Wealthiest Men In His Field, Mum And I Had Very Little And She Was Going Out To Work To Support Us.

I've Done Every Kind Of Touring Known To Mankind. I've Played The Big And The Small Places.
