Luke Steele:
We’ve been working together for 20 years, over 20 years, so I think we had to get to that point where we said, enough is enough. I’ve had it with you, Nick, go my own way. You know, we had to turn all the computers off. We had to shut everything down. And even though the pandemic was, you know, horrible for the band, I think it was a bit of a blessing because we got to step away. You know, for 20 years we built this castle, and it was time for us to abandon, kind of abandon the dream and let it all get covered in raids, to then come back again and realize what we loved about it so much in the first place.
