The 38-year-old rocker admitted the band’s track ‘I Wouldn’t Believe Your Radio’ came to him in a dream, which happens a lot when he’s working on a record.
I was always in a band [as a child]. I did my first gig at 12
He said: “When you’re making an album, I find a lot of the stuff creeps into your subconscious when you sleep. “Usually they ain’t very good ideas but I did have one song called ‘I Wouldn’t Believe Your Radio’. I dreamt that one.”
The track – which appeared on Stereophonics’ 1999 album ‘Performance and Cocktails’ – reached Number 11 in the UK Singles Chart and helped form a career Kelly always aspired to.
Talking about his youth, the singer revealed: “I was always in a band [as a child]. I did my first gig at 12. We’d gig in the working men’s club at the end of the road. “We’d have to leave after because we were too young to drink.”
He grew up in a happy, supportive but male-dominated family, but his current family life has seen it switch in the opposite direction.
He added: “To be honest with you, [my home has] been taken over by the three ladies of the house. There’s a lot of pink, a lot of shoes, a lot of clothes, and I realise why I man needs a shed. “The complete opposite of the house I grew up in – revenge has been taken.”
