Andy Bell chats to ilikemusic.com

ILM: Do you keep all your outrageous stage show outfits?

Andy: Yeah, there's quite a lot of them which are mostly in the cellar in Spain. We just gave my cowboy outfit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and they've got the circus jacket and a bustier that I had and ruby red slippers.

ILM: Are you still having as much fun 17 years on? How has the industry changed for the better and for the worse?

Andy: I have just as much fun. I'm not as irresponsible as I used to be, but I still like to have fun. And I'm looking forward to turning 40 next year. It takes a week to recover from one night out. I love what I do and like where I am, and as far as the industry goes, I feel very grateful that we still have a record deal after all this time. The industry is much more cut throat and more commercialised than it used to be, it's like fast food. Things are really heavily promoted these days, although sometimes things take off of their own accord, which I like to see.
