Was it difficult at first since you spoke different languages at the start of Il Divo?
Yes. Initially it was difficult. Fortunately for me, the language we all chose to speak was English. But it all worked out. We did what we had to do and now we have something very exciting together. You tour every year. Does that hurt you since your fans see you once and perhaps not buy tickets the next year? We looked at the numbers of who comes to our shows. Sixty-seven percent are new fans. And 20 whatever percent are repeat fans. Our management was downhearted about it but not me. I look at it like Il Divo is the circus. We come every year. Not everyone is going to come out to the circus every year, but the tickets still sell. We’re playing to a packed house every night no matter who comes out.
