“I’ve had quite a life and most of it was just chance. I don’t know. Just good luck. I met the most incredible people in the world. I worked for them. Not only Bowie, but Sting was my bass player for a while, and I worked for Vangelis, the composer of Chariots of Fire, and I helped Rufus Wainwright in his career.”
