His rock and roll days didn’t last long, and now he’s revealed they are over.
Example has confessed that his post-gig celebrations and parties have become very civilised.
“Gigs do wear you out because you just go mental on stage. Generally after the show I’ll have a red wine or something, usually even if I want to stay out I just end up falling asleep,” he admitted.
“I’ve been doing this for like eight years so the rock ‘n’ roll’s all out of me now. I’m kind of boring, I’ve got a girlfriend, I don’t like staying up late, I like exercising and going to the cinema. That’s all behind me now.”
The singer has just released details of his new 2013 arena tour, but don’t worry, it won’t be a snooze fest, the ‘Stay Awake’ singer revealed he still gets a kick out of performing live.
The singer, whose real name is Elliot Gleave, said; “I love it. I wouldn’t do it so much otherwise. As soon as I finish one tour I usually get three or four days off to recuperate and then I’m straight on to the next one.
“I like being on stage. Whilst I like making music, I don’t really like the studio and recording process that much, I don’t like being locked in a room.
“I like exercise and being out and about and travelling. I don’t really enjoy the whole sitting in a room, listening to things over and over again, mixing and mastering and all that. It’s part of the process. I don’t really like shooting music videos, I hate photo shoots, I don’t really like doing TV, I just love the live stuff.”
That’s okay Elliot, that’s all we need you for!
Example’s 16-date tour kicks off in the UK on February 11th.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow, August 24th.
