Phil said:

“Not when I feel like this. That’s the thing. If it was a struggle… It’s not for me. I work out every day. I’m a vegan. I haven’t drunk for 36 years. So all of those things really help. And you look at, like, Mick Jagger, he has a physio, he has a treadmill in his room.”

Collen further elaborated on the band’s dedication to their craft, emphasizing their vocal warmups and their genuine live performances. They continually practice, train, and strive to improve their skills. As long as they can sustain this level of commitment and continue to progress, Collen expressed enthusiasm for continuing their touring journey.

 

”And we have our trainer out with us. We have our chef out with us. So if you keep doing that and you’re serious about it… We do vocal warmups. We really sing (live); it’s actually us really doing it.

”But we actually practice and we train and do this stuff all the time. So as long as we can do all of that and still get better, then, yeah, great.”

“When the last note dies, but the soul of the nation still sings…” On a golden night in Austin, Willie Nelson stood under the stage lights for the last time, guitar in hand, tears streaming down his haggard face. At 92, the living pulse of country music was met with an eight-minute ovation that would resonate across generations—a farewell not just to a legend, but to the spirit of an era. When he whispered, “I don’t think anybody wants to hear me sing anymore,” the crowd roared back, “Forever, Willie!” In the front row, his closest friend, Dolly Parton, wept unabashedly, her heart breaking with the world’s. This was more than a concert—it was a moment when time stood still, and America embraced a man who had given everything he had, wanting nothing more than to sing.
