Speaker 3: Now.

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: I saw you on the project the other night. You

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: were talking about your father. He is waiting for life

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: saving surgery, a kidney operation, a transplant. Can you give

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: us an update what's going on?

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 4: J Yeah, So you know I wrote the song where

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: my dad told me he had stage four chronic kidney disease.

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 4: And you know that's when you realize your parents' mortality,

25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: isn't it?

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: And if you do, it's a chapter that all of

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: us have to go through.

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: And you just hope that it's not early in your

29
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: life and you leave it as long as possible. And

30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: so it's been an amazing experience of writing this song

31
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: and being able to say things to him. Our news

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: actually is that you know, over this week as we speak,

33
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: he's going in for that transplant, which is amazing. We'll

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 4: see if it takes.

35
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 5: Is it hard though, because every time you will sing

36
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 5: that song, it's going to reopen a wound for you.

37
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

38
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 4: Well, while it's still a live things are okay. I

39
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: mean he's in the video and the video is amazing.

40
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: It's me blubbing my eyes out, and then we pull

41
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: back and you see my father's beside me and he's

42
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: not blubbing his eyes out and he's looking at me confused.

43
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 2: On earth are you doing? And I'm still here?

44
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: And it was It's magical to get him on film,

45
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: you know, I do say to him, come on, daddy,

46
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: and if you do pop your clogs this this song

47
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: will be worth much more.

48
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Actually, can I just quickly bring up because I recently

49
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: did something for an organization called Raise and it was

50
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: called letters to your mentor and people who made a

51
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: difference in your life. I picked my father and the

52
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: reason why I did, and I feel like this is

53
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: the same with you with your dad. My dad comes

54
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: from a very tough background. We never expressed our feelings

55
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: to each other, and I look there was This is

56
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: a short ad, but I get very emotional in this.

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: You were the only role model that I had and

58
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: you believed in me.

59
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: And I want to thank you, sir. I love you, mate,

60
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: and Dad, let's do this a bit more often.

61
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 4: Raise your hand, Raise your hand.

62
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: I've never done that with my father before, James. And

63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, it got to a point in my life

64
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: where I matured and I said, you know what, I

65
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: don't hug my father. I don't say I love you

66
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: to my father. And it really got me down.

67
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a strange thing, as you know, a

68
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 4: man at a British male or an Australia mail were quite

69
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: similar in that way, and that you know, I might

70
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 4: be incredibly close to my father, but don't have emotional conversations.

71
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 4: I've never discussed anything emotional with know in my life.

72
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: And so and that's why I've enjoyed being able to

73
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: write a song and say, you know, you are more

74
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 4: than to me, more to me than just a father

75
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: or my friend as well. And and yes, so it's

76
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: been an amazing experience.

77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: But James is that kind of opened the floodgates for

78
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: conversations with your dad.

79
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: And then.

80
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: When I played him the song, I said, I've got

81
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: I've got to play you something. I've written a song

82
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: and hear, O God, and you've got the good taste

83
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: of music. So I didn't really want to listen to it.

84
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: And he knows what I put out. And I took

85
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 4: him upstairs. I put headphones on him, a press play

86
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: and he tapped his feet out of time.

87
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: And then and then it finished. He said, so true.

88
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: And then we walked downstairs and he mentioned the song again.

89
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: You've got to ask.

90
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: Him, what did you think? Tell me about the song?

91
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: But you know, I'm pretty sure I feel he likes

92
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: the song. And he said he'd be in the video,

93
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: and you know, and I feel that's all I kind

94
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: of need. We are very close, we just don't have

95
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: this kind of close.

96
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: Cover or what about the what about the other song?

97
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: The first song that you write which is called Carl,

98
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: and that was an apology to your wife. I mean,

99
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: you're really taken off the family here, you're all out.

100
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't think it'll be strong enough

101
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: apology really for everything that I.

102
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Do, because this is an apology for being away so

103
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: much with.

104
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: Work totally, so you haven't done something really bad.

105
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know if they're a hidden apology. No,

106
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: it's pretty clear.

107
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

108
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: I sugar off for eighteen months on tour with my bandmates,

109
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: who are my just just my mates. We're a tour

110
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: bus full of beer. I've left this poor girl, I've

111
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: left at home to pick up the pieces of two

112
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 4: small children.

113
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: I mean, imagine if they're they're very small.

114
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: If you go away for eighteen months, that's actually more

115
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: than a lifetime, isn't it.

116
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: And I'm going to tour the world.

117
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: In Australia and you know, but if you're listening, darling,

118
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: it's really hard.

119
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: Im sorry you can't come with me? Yeah, so I think, yeah,

120
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,760

131
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Do you bring the family with you touring? Sometimes, James,

132
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: do they come up? The wife comes over and.

133
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: Says, absolutely, when you know when we can.

134
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,880

Speaker 4: Very small exactly, and you know it works like that.

140
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: I've talked, talked for many months with them. If you know,

141
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: if one's too little, I'll take the other one the

142
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 4: other one and get on the road.

Speaker 1: Can weait last time we spoke to you, mate, this

144

Speaker 1: And now you've apologized to your lovely wife Sophia, and

146
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,400

147
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: we said, look, this is before you meet your wife,

148
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,400

Speaker 1: your song? I have come on and you told us this.

150
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: It was in a hotel room. Oh don't, don't, and

151
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: I didn't.

152
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: There was no stereo, so I just turned on the TV,

00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: you know TV, and no, no, Over her shoulder came

154

Speaker 4: my song and I tried to change over the channel

155
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 4: with it, and she threw the remote control away and

156
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: she just she mouthed the words to me.

157
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: I can't believe I told you. I still wanted to.

158
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,039

Speaker 2: I don't know.

176
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320

185
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,400

00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: So I've been living in a hotel down the road

188
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: which I used to put my band in actually, and

189
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: there's stains on the floor that I still remember making

190
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: from about ten years ago.

191
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: It's a really.

192
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: Depressing place to be so anyway, and I feel like

193
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: feeling pretty miserable because obviously I'm not staying at what

194
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: has been my home. Carrie Fisher's house is genuine general

195
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800

197
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,200

198
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: music career and she's now with us no more. And

199
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: I thought, okay, you know what I'm going to do.

200
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: I'm going to drive past the house. It was kind

201
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: of on the way past to the studio, and I'll

202
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: do it. And then I thought, no, that's mad, don't

203
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: do it. Don't be no, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 4: and even the gate's magical. You know, it's got these

208
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: signs saying, you know, prescription pills and crabs as in

209
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 4: the disease. She's got chandeliers in the trees and stuff.

00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: It fantastic place. And I got to the gate. I

211
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: hadn't called her head and I wasn't going to go

212
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: in, and I just put my hand on the gate, got

213
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: out of my hard car and put my hand on

214
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,400

221
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:14,679

237
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: called once Upon of Mine because the first we call

238
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: back to Bedlam. It's all about what goes in on

239
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: your mind and the loans and on the disc itself

240
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 4: is the pill. It's the pros app pill that she's

Speaker 4: Apprise it, did she not a few of them?

247
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: Amazingable story.

248
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: Hey, here's the Fox and Pheasant going. Now you know

249
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: what you've known, You've made it in your life when

250
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: you get your own pub.

251
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's so much fun. And it was going

252
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: to be. It's one hundred and seventy year old pub

253
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: called the Fox and in Chelsea.

254
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: Have you've done it up a bit?

255
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: Well? It was well because it was my local. We

256
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,359
Speaker 2: called it the Fox and unpleasant. It was so disgusting.

257
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: And and then it came up for sale and I thought,

258
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: you know this, they were going to turn it into flat.

259
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: So I thought's my job as a pop star to

260
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: buy the pub, save the pub. I've gone in there,

261
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 4: sandy down, varnished. It got a decent chef and and you.

262
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: Know, now open up and running.

263
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: I'm fully trained them behind the bar and pulling a

264
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 4: signature dish.

265
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: We well, we have a Gordon ramsa train chef. I'm

266
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: not loud near the kitchen if they keep me in

267
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: the potwash because they're a bit embarrassed by me.

268
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: And what we do is you have a strict music

269
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: policy of no James Blunt up until five to midnight,

270
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: five minutes more closing time.

271
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: We put on Your Beautiful just to get people.

272
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Out to play Ed's music been into the Has he

273
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: been into the pub yet?

274
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 2: He might have been in there a few times?

275
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: And I ask you, is the Fox and Phear isn't

276
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: better than it's because the last time we spoke to it,

277
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: he was improving his pub that he had on his

278
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: own premises, like he was making his own pub. Have

279
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: you been to that one?

280
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: I have been, and that's fantastic, but probably not as

281
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: profitable as I'm probably not as accessible to your man

282
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: on the street.

283
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: When did you go there?

284
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: When was the last time you went there?

285
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: To Ed's bar? Would you need?

286
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,520
