His introduction:
“I usually start about an hour before the show, just playing along to little bits of the songs. Back in the day, I never used to bother – I’d just jump out on stage and I ended up getting these painful cramps during the set, which definitely made things difficult! So from then on, I started making sure I was physically prepared and mentally relaxed before any performance.”
