00:00Tom, welcome to the Brits. Thank you very much. What's it like to be here? It's really good. It feels
00:04right to be here.
00:06I've been waiting for this invite for too long, but here I am now. It's better to be late than
00:10never invited.
00:11It feels very exciting. It's in Manchester. What's the atmosphere like?
00:15It's all over the city. It really is. All week it's been buzzing.
00:19Manchester is an important place for music. I think it makes sense that it's in Manchester.
00:23It also makes sense that I'm here. It doesn't make sense that I'm not nominated.
00:27But next time, I'm not bitter. I don't even want to be nominated.
00:32Who's here who is nominated? Whose album you've loved this time?
00:36Oh, I think I'm really excited. Self-esteem I think is really doing amazing things.
00:41Dolce. Oh my God. I feel like there's so many people. Are they screaming for me?
00:46Probably, right? They can hear my voice and they're screaming for me.
00:49Dolce. I feel like there's so many people that are really pushing boundaries now artistically
00:54and just doing really interesting things and she's one of them.
00:58But yeah, loads. Pulp. I'm friends with one of Pulp. Not the main one. Not Jarvis.
01:06So someone who's here is Robbie Williams, who of course you've joined on stage.
01:10Is he here? Yeah, he's my mate.
01:12What was it like being on stage with Robbie?
01:14Oh yeah, Wicked. Like we're really tight now. We're really close friends.
01:18And watching him, anytime I get to see him perform, it's like a master class.
01:22Like there's nobody better at it than him. He really is the king of entertainment.
01:26And I like to think that I am the prince of entertainment.
01:30And yeah, he's a beautiful person to be around. Very inspiring.
01:34I've never been around a more creative person.
01:36He'll text me every day with a poem or a drawing or a song or something.
01:40And I'm like, I really need to stop eating this pot noodle and start doing something creative.
01:45Did he impart any words of wisdom? Because he's a showman at the highest form.
01:50Yeah. You know what? He said the loveliest thing to me last night, but I don't want to show off
01:54about it.
01:55But he basically said, he watched me play last night.
01:58And he said, you said to me that you watch me and it's like a master class.
02:01And he was like, but you are.
02:04He was like, you're as good as me, if not better.
02:07He was like, you are the best.
02:08And I was like, no, you're the best. And he's like, no, you're the best.
02:11We have that kind of relationship. It's very cute.
02:13Little bromance going on.
02:14Oh, it's not little.
02:15Oh.
02:16It's a big bromance, yeah.
02:17Yeah, we're very much in love.
02:18Can we expect to see some of that showmanship at your massive stadium show coming up?
02:23Oh, yeah. I'm going to be filling that place with charisma.
02:25Are you going to come?
02:26I would love to be there.
02:27Please come. I'll put you on the guest list. I can do that.
02:30I've got the power at this one.
02:32Can you get me on the stage?
02:34Are you charismatic?
02:36Show me.
02:41And then, so it's not just Robbie, who's got your seal of approval.
02:45We've also got Chad from Nickelback, who you worked with recently.
02:49Oh yeah, he's here.
02:50He's not here, but tell me, why did you want to join forces with him?
02:53Oh, that was the weirdest thing ever, that.
02:55It was like this whole lockdown situation where all kinds of postmen were doing sea shanties,
02:59and then we did one on TikTok, and then Chad got in touch, and then we ended up being friends.
03:04But sometimes he FaceTimes me now, and I'm in a charity shop.
03:06And I've just got Chad Kruger in a hot tub on FaceTime, and I'm like, Chad, it's a bad time,
03:11mate.
03:11I mean, we're getting in the hospice.
03:13What was his response to that?
03:14Oh, he's fine.
03:15He just wants to talk.
03:16He's a good lad.
03:16He's a nice guy, Chad.
03:18So I see you've got the Help 2 badge on.
03:20Yeah, where is it?
03:22Can you see it?
03:22Yeah.
03:23Are you excited for the album to come out?
03:24Yeah, I really am.
03:25Yeah, it would have been nice to be on it, but I'm not bothered.
03:27I still like it.
03:28I mean, it's got some big names, and it is for like a really important part.
03:31Oh yeah, it is.
03:32We did a War Child show last night, and it's a cause that we really are aligned with.
03:37So yeah, I mean, that's why I'm wearing the thing.
03:39Who are you most looking forward to hearing on that album?
03:42Me?
03:42Next time.
03:44Yeah?
03:44One more?
03:45Yeah.
03:46I don't know.
03:46I'm not bothered.
03:47Just me.
03:48I don't listen to music.
03:49I like AI music.
03:50It's the best, isn't it?
03:52It's the best.
03:53I don't really.
03:55Okay, and then finally, tell me what you've got coming up for the rest of the year.
03:58We've got the stadium show.
03:59We're going to put an album out.
04:00I'm going to be dead famous.
04:01That's my plan.
04:02I'm going to host the Brits next year.
04:04Robbie's going to ask you for advice.
04:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:07Yeah, he already does.
04:08Who's your next Dream collaboration?
04:10Oh, I want to do a song with Rob, obviously.
04:12I call him Rob, you can't.
04:13Robbie Williams, I want to do a song with.
04:15It'd be nice to have Johnny Marr play on a song.
04:18I did send a song to Noel Gallagher, but he said, who's this?
04:23Fair enough.
04:24It gives you something to work for.
04:26Yeah.
04:27.
04:28.
