Speaking on The One Show, he told hosts Alex Jones and Michael Ball: “Every song on there is telling a different part of my life.
“It’s like the first one I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall, like when my late wife Linda, God bless her, she had lung cancer and she was passing away.”
The Voice UK coach continued: “I was there in the hospital room with her for the last 10 days.”
He went on to add: “I said, ‘My God, Linda, I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.
“I won’t be able to sing, I won’t be able to get the words out.’
“And she said, ‘You must, don’t fall with me. I’ve got to go but you don’t have to.
“’You’ve got to go and do what we planned to do,’ which was to move back to London.
“’But I’ve just run out of time but you’ve got to go out and do that now.’”
