Donald said electronic music was more to his taste, but did say his own band really knew how to “deliver a performance”.

He said: "We have always said we want people to walk out of the stadiums or the arenas and say, ‘Wow, what did I just see? That one betters the last one,’ or ‘Maybe doesn’t better the last one but it was an amazing show - I got my £80 worth'.”

"Production wise, you could spend anywhere between £10 million to £15 million producing a show like that,” he went on.

"Then obviously you have got to do enough shows to get your money back, because otherwise you would be doing it for free.
