“We knew Klaus anyway. John and I really knew each other, so we were psychic where the atmosphere was going to go.

“It’s one of the best experiences of being on a record I have ever had. Just being in the room with John, being honest, the way he was, screaming, shouting and singing. It was an incredible moment.”
