We almost didn't make it to Graham Norton, but we made it through.”
He added: “This morning I woke up just feeling worse than ever. All I can say is that maybe next time we're in town, I can make it up to you and we can rock the Roundhouse one more time. But for now, I feel awful. I hope none of you get this flu. Thanks, love you guys and see you next time.”
