I think he was lunging and his trousers ripped! He was telling me how he had to find a new way of performing that didn't involve moving.''

She also about the process of making the band's new album 'Cereonials': "It was hard work making the album but it was quite a joyous experience as well. I think this time around I had a better idea of what I wanted to do and it was a really enjoyable experience. We did a lot of work with the band this time, a lot of rehearsing live before we went in to record it."
