Even though you're not going to tour, you will still be recording new music?
00:03
Even though you're not going to tour, you'll still be recording new music?
00:06
I've got, yes, I've got records that are going to come out.
00:11
We've got two musicals opening within a month of each other at the end of the year.
00:14
Devil Wears Prada opens in London in December.
00:18
Tammy Faye opens in New York on the Palace Theatre in November.
00:23
And that's happened because of COVID.
00:24
It just, you know, it wasn't planned like that, but that's the way it's happened.
00:28
I still do my radio shows.
00:32
David and I have a beautiful photographic exhibition
00:34
at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
00:36
There's plenty of things that we're doing.
00:39
I like to stay active.
00:41
What's happened with my eye has been very distressing
00:47
because I'm used to getting up in the morning, looking at all the newspapers,
00:51
looking at the charts, looking at everything, how the world is doing creatively.
00:57
And I've lost that for the time being.
00:59
It's been seven weeks since I've been able to see out of this.
01:02
But the prospect is good.
01:05
I had a hell of a time with this right eye.
01:07
It was a hell of a bug that got into it.
01:12
And sometimes I feel forlorn.
01:14
But most of the time, I feel grateful that I still got it.
01:17
And I just have to be patient.
01:18
And I've had so much support.
01:21
So I'm always optimistic.
01:24
But I was really...
01:27
Last night when I was walking around backstage,
01:29
when I'm walking around at home, I know where I'm going.
01:31
Last night, backstage, all the, you know,
01:33
getting under the no lights and everything.
01:35
I found it really quite hard.
01:38
But I had to be here to support this film.
01:40
I had to be here.
01:41
It's the first time I've been out for seven weeks.
01:44
And it was worth it to support RJ and David
01:50
and be here for it because I'm so proud of it.
