Chris Martin from Coldplay told me that the first few years of my career, I need to be as boring as possible [laughs]. As in, focus on the music and stay boring in the public eye so you don’t get in all the gossip columns. That’s been a really good piece of advice for me, because it means I just make the albums and I tour. No one’s interested in which supermodel I’m dating at the moment, cause I’m just doing my thing.

"I didn't have a clue and I remember halfway through thinking, 'I bet Coldplay will arrive later because they're in the headline slot and I would have really liked for Chris Martin to have seen my show, just because it's nice to have someone who you have admiration for see you.

"As soon as I got off stage, my promotions guy said, 'Did you see? Chris watched the whole show'.

"I got back to my dressing room and I said, 'I can't believe Chris saw the whole thing,' and then he popped in and said, 'Hey, I saw the whole thing.' I've met him a few times before, he's really nice."
