Bruce Springsteen tells The Hollywood Reporter that he still gets butterflies before shows. “It’s what I call anticipatory anxiety. You’re about to test yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Every night, you’re going to call on all these parts of your personality, and you’re going to relive them and be as alive as you can be. I believe that’s what the audience pays for, how alive you can be on any given night, more than what song you’re singing or what song you don’t sing.”
Blondie star Debbie Harry was doing a recent interview with The Times when she said she no longer has stage fright. “I have no more nerves now. Experience is the key. It hasn’t all been lucky, but I feel I’ve been treated very generously by the fickle finger of fate.”
Billy Idol tells People magazine that his grandchildren have embraced his music. “McKenzie, she wanted to come the next night. She came one night, she went, ‘Can we see granddad again tonight?’ That’s lovely about being granddad, you’re not disciplining them… it’s quite different.”
Sting tells Variety magazine that watching his son perform is surreal. “I feel very proud he’s my boy, and at the same time it’s like an out-of-body experience because he does elements of what I do but also his own thing. There are things in his voice he gets from me, and things he does that are completely unique.”
Bryan Adams tells People magazine that he never leaves home without good headphones. “The one thing I always have is a good pair of headphones. They’re essential for escaping into music, even in the busiest places.”
