The tour kicks off tomorrow after over a week of rehearsals in Killarney... (where cheap wine costs £20 a bottle and Guiness in £4.50 a pint!)
We wish you the very best of luck as you start your long trek; come back to us safe and sound...
p.s. There's a lady in Japan and a few thousand more who want to see you there...
And I'll see you in Nottingham...

Yes indeed let's hope it all goes well because it is a pretty gruelling schedule when we reach a "certain age". Heard they all signed up for special medical insurance and who can blame them.
Know some artists like Mike d'Abo and Cliff Bennett are cutting back on the number of gigs they do and that seems sensible as many of the 60 stars pass or come close to the 70 mark. We've lost too many of late.
I am sure we all wish Cliff and the Shads a great tour -- and that they find a youthful spring in their step to keep them going.

Yes, the best of luck - and thanks so much for giving us one more chance to see you.
May it be a happy and fulfilling experience for you all and may you all enjoy good health throughout the tour.
See you in my, er, binoculars ... at the O2!

I heard that they're already over there in Ireland, that's where the rehearsals are.
