Good day from Basel, Switzerland.
I am back to work. I have had some time at home recently, mainly because i was suffering from a few nasty illnesses :-( Trust me you don't want me to go into it.
I'm still feeling pretty fragile and definitely looking forward to Christmas to get a nice break but right now we have a few gigs and promo commitments to get done this month so we're all back at it again.
I've now sold 1.75 million albums! which is absolutely astonishing! It's still rising constantly and now I have the deluxe album out people are all buying that too!
To think around this time last year i had gone platinum(300,000) how much difference a year makes!!
I'm in Basel tonight to play a gig as part of the AVO sessions festival here.
The promoter came in to tell me that he has been organising this for the past 20 years and everyone has played here! He said that he has never witnessed such demand for tickets as he had for me.
We sold the first night out in 3 minutes and the second one out in 4 minutes. He told me when he had Elton John here, he sold out in 1 day!!!!!
I will never get used to hearing things like that! Infact i don't think i'll ever properly believe it.
Last night i played my biggest gig to date, in front of 5500 people in Amsterdam. It was a great night and i hope the crowd enjoyed it as much as we did.
It is getting a little bit harder doing all of this because it isn't fresh anymore. It gets exhausting, constantly travelling and always answering the same questions. I have put so much effort into everything i've done and i'm so grateful that people like what i'm doing. This job would be a lot harder if they didnt.
So next week is going to be very exciting for me.
Not only is Diego Maradona going to be at Hampden Park for his first game in charge of Argentina against Scotland, but the SFA have i asked if i will go on and sing the national anthem before the game.
This is such an honour for me and i feel so lucky to be asked.
Everyone knows how patriotic i am so i'm not sure i'll be able to do this without crying ;-)
I'm so excited.
Anyway i best be off now.
