โInspiration for the next 10 years? Thanks to my dear friend Joe Elliott [vocalist of Def Leppard], I have this great image of my hero Jimi Hendrix on my wall to remind me to keep reaching for the stars,โ he said. โAch! A bit too glib for you? Well, thatโs my brave face. Most of this Christmas period I havenโt wanted to show my face because my face was grim. Thereโs something about this time of the year that paralyzes me.โ
He added: โDepression, hopelessness, fear… I get engulfed. Is it logical ? No. Should I be grateful for my life and therefore NOT depressed ? Yes. But none of that makes any difference when you look up and the colours have gone out of the world.โ

โTomorrow I am wrenching myself back into โnormalityโ – starting with some biking and stretching and hot and cold showering. Oh! And the Veganuary quest? It went OK on Day 2.โ
He talked about the breakfast, lunch and dinner, and said, โBreakfast: half a grapefruit and crispbread with plant-based spread and home-made marmalade. Jasmin tea, black. Lunch: a Vegan Leggera Padana in Pizza Express with my littlest ones. Thatโs very easy – they do it all for you – they make it with Vegan cheese and it tastes just like โnormalโ! And for Dinner: some nice light veggies prepared by my amazing wife! There are SO many great vegetables in the world – artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, roasted parsnips, new potatoes, and a rocket and tomato salad, perked up with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar from dear old Luciano Pavarottiโs home town. Plus a nice selection of nuts and raisins.โ
Lastly, he wished a Happy Friday for everyone and said, โHey! This is a doddle!! Ha ha!! Well, we shall see! Happy Friday folks… weโll soon be out of this murky Sargasso Sea! Briโ
