How has life changed since you first started your career in the 1980s?
When my brother Craig and I started it was almost all record sales; now it's more live work, festivals and tours. I actually prefer it now.

How do you feel about performing at the F1 pow-wow this year? Do you have a special interest in car races?
I loved cars when I was a kid but I’m more of a football and athletics guy now. Still, I’m really excited about being part of the build-up to the race.

Do you have any pre-show rituals?
We warm up our voices by singing for 10 minutes.

What do you personally listen to in your spare time?
All kinds of music: opera, blues, folk, country and pop.

What do you do when you get tired on tour?
Rest, exercise—it really helps us to stay fit as we get older—and a glass of wine.

Other than performing, what else do you plan to see and do in Singapore?
Just strolling around, the best way to experience any place!
