I saw B.B. King in concert one time where he had this guy that would bring him out a glass of water and towel to wipe his forehead with.
It's work to play the same songs the same way for 70 shows.
After 15 years of singing the same 12 to 15 songs every night, it can become monotonous.
Before I go on stage, I knock three times. Three is my lucky number; I once went into an audition and was number 333 and got the best part ever.
I don't have any weird gimmicks. I do put on lipstick for the show. That's what separates it. 'Cause I don't wear makeup at all... That's probably the closest thing I have to a routine.
I spent a long time in London on the stage, and you knew exactly what you were going to be doing. You not only knew the performance, but you also knew exactly where you would stand.
I don't know how other bands play the same songs every night.
When you're on tour, you know exactly what you're doing and what's required of you. There's a routine.
