Reggae music really chills me out in my dressing-room before I head on stage.
When I'm not playing music, certainly the last thing I want to do is listen to music!
I can't listen to music when I'm writing. I like music best in a car or on the train.
I'm quite into listening to music and not doing anything else.
I listen to music deeply and seriously for at least an hour or two a day.
The jazz records come out a lot. You find that with many musicians - we don't listen to our own music for relaxation.
At home I have a mixing desk that I like playing around on. It's great fun making music myself. And music has always been a very good counterbalance to football for me. It allows me to switch off and relax.
It sounds boring, but I'm such a guitar junkie and a gear junkie. I'm always fiddling with my stuff. It's relaxing to me... I'm always pulling my stuff apart, getting my pedal board out and fiddling with it or changing guitar strings.
[I listen to] "Uptown Funk", Bruno Mars, sometimes even Nina Simone and Adele. Whatever comes up, whatever floats my boat, whatever makes me tap into something in me to just decompress - I listen to that.
I don't listen to much music on the go because I tend either to be writing my own music or wanting a break from the music around me.
I couldn't imagine a day without music. It relaxes and stimulates me in equal measure and I hate the sound of silence - the concept, I mean, not the track by Simon and Garfunkel.
I'm more relaxed when I can hear the beat clearly all the time I'm singing.
Human curation allows you to have the emotion and feel music, because it is a very emotional thing. It makes you feel happy; it helps you when you are feeling sad, gets you pumped up, calms you down.
Whether its active rock, pop, country, hip-hop - I love music; it's therapeutic to me.
If I want to hear a voice, Lana Del Rey is very soothing, and I could just listen to her on repeat, but my real go-to that's been very consistent for at least the past ten years is Miles Davis.
Whenever I like a new song, I play it on loop and dance to it. That's my therapy.
I listen to a pop genre of music to keep the rhythm flowing and sometimes I'll take it back to the old school to keep my mind calm because once you start to listen to so much craziness, it gets hectic.
I listen to everything. As I told you, sometimes I just want to shut off from music and be silent. Then I play a song and it's refreshing. It's almost like initializing yourself. Recently I was in South Africa doing a press day for my tour. I listened to this band called "Freshly Ground." They were doing a live gig there so that's the last thing I've heard.
