Peter is such an inspirational man and has clearly had a horrible time the last couple of years. I wouldn't want to speculate what has happened to him but I think it's quite obvious. I just desperately want to see him back on stage where he belongs. Not for my own satisfaction, but because I think that's where he feels his best because he's putting so many smiles on faces. It really touched me seeing him like that tonight, put a tear in my eye. I think he's fantastic and wish him a successful recovery from whatever he is going through.

Most people in Amarillo still have no idea that this song was ever a big deal in the UK. We didn’t know until we visited Ireland the first time in 2006.
