Hey everyone!!
I just thought I'd drop in while I have a few minutes to say hello and wish everyone a Happy Easter!!
I'm writing here from my hotel room overlooking the water here in Sydney and the view is pretty beautiful!!
I hope everyone who has been to a show on the tour yet has enjoyed what they saw and heard, and to everyone else who has still to see the show, that you are looking forward to it!! We're certainly enjoying performing the show - with its new songs and some alterations here and there and hope you like the new stuff as well!! I certainly think is bigger and better than it's ever been!
As you know, "Every Breath You Take" has been added to my solos. It's a song I've always loved singing - even back in my two-piece covers band!! - so, as you can imagine, the opportunity to sing it, while being accompanied by the full band, is pretty special and somewhat different to some of the rough pubs I used to perform it in!
The tour itself has been going great so far. I'm loving all these different places we're getting to see and the people have been great as usual - as I now come to expect from you all!! We just ask that you keep getting the word out about us, as the more new fans we accumulate, the longer we're gonna be around and the more shows we'll be able to put on for you all!!
Off-stage, I'm still getting in as much sport as I can. Whether it be getting out for a run in all the beautiful places, hitting the gym in the hotels (some being better than others!!), and also of course getting to see as much basketball and soccer (and golf at the minute as I write) on tv as well!! Of course I'm excited about singing at the Celtics next week. I also thought I'd get on the court there, but it used to be to shoot three-pointers in the last seconds to win the NBA Championship. Alas, I have to make do now with singing before the REAL athletes take the court!!!
Anyways, as I always say - I want to thank you all for your kind messages of support either here, on Facebook, MySpace or in letter or in person at the shows. Although I can't respond to all of them, I do read them all and appreciate your support.
I wish you and your families and friends a very Happy Easter once more and for those I won't see for the remainder of this tour - I'll see you all in the Fall once again!!!
Take care,
Ryan x

Hello Pubbers!
I know you get frustrated at the guys not coming on to chat all the time. But there is good reason.
Aside from being flat out working on the tour and doing promo for the tour every day as well, they found when they were able to get in regularly that they were asked the same questions over and over.
There are only so many ways you can answer the same question.
Also, when they did pop in, it would get crazy busy and they couldn't keep up with the posts and questions. No one can keep up when it gets fast like that and then some people get offended if they don't answer a question or say hello or goodbye to them
It's not reasonable. If they could pop in, say Hi (in general), just post a note or two about what they are doing without a barrage of questions coming at them, they could pop in more often.
