Hey friends,
Thank you so much for all your support this year - it's been amazing! You don't know how much I appreciate ALL your messages and reactions at gigs - it makes everything worthwhile and makes me awesomely happy
.
So, I'm off to the U.S now to get my brain fixed. I'll be gone for a while (there's a lot of fixing to do) but I'll be back!! I'll be harder, better, faster, stronger. And COMPLETELY sober.
I'm an honest guy so let me say this. EVERY show we do in 2010 I promise you, WE WILL BLOW THE FUCKING ROOF OFF!! So please come down. It means the world to me.
Everyone laughs at me when I say Robert Downey Jr. and Eminem are my idols. But it's not just because of their acting / music (although they ARE both geniuses), it's because when they hit rock bottom they made a decision that they wanted to LIVE. And they went through hell to get there, but they DID it. And now they're both doing fine and enjoying life for real.
I put a new song up for you. As a xmas present I guess
. I hope you like it. It's one of the most personal songs I've written but, like I said, I'm an honest guy
.
So thanks so much again for a wonderful year. I'll see you all in 2010!
I'll leave you with a few words a kid from Detroit once wrote:
"When I'm gone just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, and know that, I'm looking down on you smiling and I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain, just smile back". 
Have a great Christmas and I'll see you soon!
All my love,
James xxxx
