What are you looking forward to during your visit?
We absolutely love India and are looking forward to everything — just being there, meeting people and absorbing the atmosphere and tasting the wonderful food. Our amazing Indian fans at the shows will be the biggest attraction for us.
Could you take us through the setlist of your performance in Bengaluru?
We will play a lot of our biggest hits and combine them with our personal favourites.
Have you given a thought about collaborating with Indian artistes?
Unfortunately, we have not given a thought on working with Indian artistes, but we are always open to good suggestions.
How has your music evolved through the years?
Having a career for five decades has made our music go through a natural development. Simultaneously, we also developed in our personal lives as human beings, fathers, and colleagues. So I guess we can only say that our music is the artistic outcome of all that combined.
What are your favourite songs from the band?
We feel strongly about several songs, but to mention a few I would say Someday, The Actor, Stranger In My Hear.
What’s next in line for the band?
We are planning to spend Christmas holidays with our families and then prepare for touring again next year.
