He was a complete surprise as far as I was concerned. There was a void in the lineup and there were two or three candidates. I decided to go with Jamie. He not only came through, he became a star.
Divorces can be very stressful. This divorce became extremely stressful.
It was fun to watch these bad people get trashed, and Simon was really good at it. Which was why he became so well-known so quickly.
It became not fun for anybody involved. We were just touring all the time, hating each other more and more. Now we can be friends again and have fun.
