‘It’s One Of Our Favourite Places In The World To Play’: Daughtry On UK Fans And Tour Life – As he hovered somewhere between Tokyo and Singapore, we caught up with Chris Daughtry, the band’s lead singer, to talk life on the road, that London date and their relationship with their fans on this side of the pond. “Oh my gosh, it was incredible,” he said. “I mean, that room was beautiful and the fans were, if it’s possible, even better than the last time we were there. It’s definitely become one of our favourite places in the world to play. The fans are just amazing. “It was the only date, this soon, in the UK that we were able to make happen. It was one of those things where you get an offer and it makes sense, and of course we were hoping that we would get a chance to come back sooner rather than later. We ended up coming back sooner than we anticipated so that was definitely good news for us. A sold out show is definitely something we never take for granted.” – Read more at Stereoboard
