and himself and then many people say that exactly why music is compared to exact sciences like math. so i never really got that because i finished out of conservatory and i always failed my math class now you as a man of music and science can't tell me how music is related with science or exact science like math for example it's a hard question. yeah obviously there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in music having instinctive things so i don't know quite how that works out except maybe he was your parents but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same sure but. so me throughout history there has to have been connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from leonardo da vinci to. patrick moore you know . it seems to be that we maybe it's an obstruction thing maybe people who like these things don't like the clutter of the world like the complications of the

world that we live in you know the pieces of stuff they just like to find the essence of life so maybe pure science is in some way close to the essence of nature and music is close to the pure essence of human beings at this point do you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the danger of the hour. do you believe in god there's a man called richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist i had a little kind of argument with him in a hundred minutes because he he kind of i think he felt that he proved there was no good and my feeling is that's not a very scientific attitude because if you if you make a pronouncement you have to have evidence if you say there is no good where is the evidence there is no good you can say i don't know you know being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of view which is supportable but you know he's a very clever man he has. different point of view to me but in my experience i have

felt at times that there is a god of some kind i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion vastly different matter but if your question is about right maybe there is a god but if there is a god we have very little idea of what god might be that's inherent in what we are we have very little understanding. do you think we're alone out there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we don't i don't know why this is you know but new you've spoken about the loneliness state you experience after each performance. and so i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts and been to the moon at for the past three days and they also speak of that vast loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. say some music in your opinion give you that comfort of loneliness. oh yeah maybe they do for

a moment you know maybe ironically again maybe that's what makes you more aware of loneliness because you clips the clinton people into this wonderful togetherness we people are with the universe and the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why maybe that's why we feel lonely i do feel a lot of loneliness but is it a comforting feeling no. it's more comforting. but music when you're in it for the moment and science when you're in it for the moment it is all encompassing so yeah you don't have time to think i was going to ask you that earlier in your life you obviously bond and. explore exploration for celebration was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll but was it for fame money it was never for fine because i don't particularly enjoy it was never for money because i was always happy with what i have even if we only had fish fingers. it's just because it was there i suppose it was exciting it was on. it was

a door that you thought you could walk through but that thirty years on back to finish your ph today you just dropped out front like you do that it was unfinished business. it's like you have a circle some place in the circle just doesn't quite. make it back task accomplished but it didn't have to do anything with going to go towards your parents because you dropped out earlier on in life and maybe they're a little disappointed in you because you went out to work and we're all you know there was a moment you know your stuff that mean. you know my dad was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the place i'd go to the place that he would have liked to have to he never got his degree so it always held him back in his life so he saw me with his fantastic degree in. science and the whole world opening up to me and it looked like i was walking away from it and he found that just impossible to do so yeah he was very upset and we hardly told her

about. the. various things happened but eventually he came to see us for him. and he said to me i understand there were actually three. and the funny thing was you know he was very against this but all the time i was doing something off with queen he was drawing little maps and charts of how the record sales were doing you know you know he was following with great detail what i was doing so he was always kind of into it he just didn't perhaps want to. say that to me but. obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury all those great hits come to my mind and then understand that when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have a special one you form a special bond and i've heard you in another interview say that you still see freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that. it's like

a family member and you lose them but you don't quite lose them because you take them with me. and we were so long together. so. you get that closeness with somebody particularly in a creative environment i don't think famous anything to do with it or even success but in the creative environment you learn to to know what somebody else might be thinking he might not always be right but you have a feeling and so i still feel larry and roger does as well and particularly it applies more if we're working on screen and we think what would freddie say and for that he would say this. you know he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this thing out all together me pretty and roger so i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very. it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about queen didn't want to feel that it was there even the acceptance history but i sort of got

through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's a big part of what i worked to create to question what do you think happens after death after death you know the big questions in there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very simplified you know in a way that people crawling over a piece of paper has a very limited view of the universe so i think we also have a limited view so this existence that we know maybe just a very small part of the whole picture you know and i'm excited to think that that may be so. i'm not counting on it because maybe maybe at the end of your life but i don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse you can't say ok. you know this life is really bad but the next one is going to be ok you

have to make the best of what you are so i can't not ask you i know that you've been very successful and yet you were on the verge of suicide what stops at that point is that fear of death or love of life. yeah i've had very bad depression which a lot of people deal with at certain points what stops you killing yourself. i think what stopped me was the fact that i had children and people who depended on me and people who love me. and you just think in a sense is a very selfish thing to keep usurper because you make so much mess you do terrible things to the people around you and i would have been oh my children. and maybe i would like to tell you that there was a glimmer of hope but there wasn't at that time now i remember driving and seeing the bridge and thinking i could do this and i just thought it would make you know i have to somehow. discover what what is going on and

yeah it would be a bad thing to do because of the people around me and you come out more empowered after that actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out more empowered and i do i do kind of chalk my life in and checked myself into a depression clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a new start it's my response in your car you know and i had to ditch my preconceptions and that would definitely gave me a new. a new energy and it wasn't instant but it gave me the tools to deal with life in a slightly different way i think you have to get to the point where you throw everything away. because that's the only way you can make a new start i realised that if i did not deal with the depression i was no use to anybody so it's the same kind of logic is not killing yourself you know. killing you. if it's really bad for everybody around you but was staying in depression is

very bad for everyone around you so it's no use struggling and trying to keep doing what you've been doing the whole time because it's it's going to be the same thing you know you have to somehow get outside. and trust that you can come back in as a person who can deal with things if. you've got all the money you want educated men you love staring at stars would you consider maybe flying as a space tourist you know i don't like being a tourist it's funny that you say that you know if i was flying in there was some reason for it into space i think i would enjoy it more it's like being here. i keep busy in my life and it's quite hard for me to take a week off just to come to generate although i'd love to know but there was an excuse to come you know i had work to do i had things which could be achieved and i think that's made me and joy the sunshine and and the beach more the fact that i'm sort of part of the life of the sign and i love the sun and anyway and it's because of the really it's not because of being

a tourist so you know if there was some reason to go into space if i thought it would. stop people torturing animals i would do it again. but i would enjoy it have you spoken to some of the brilliant brains times for the past three days what do you think what you think could be or is high priest in the twenty first century the high priest of the twenty first boy oh boy oh boy. maybe nelson mandela. because he has a very important key i think apart from wisdom and knowledge. he has the key of forgiveness which i think saved his country completely from a blood. and i think people the people who run this planet studied the notes and then we would definitely get a better planet and i think that would be. more than anyone i think he has the key

a few questions despite my mrs dunn you left chelsea three years before i'm on about mortgage but the call up do you feel any regret that you weren't there when salaries went sky high and the blues why only one the league. yeah i think it was about time for me to leave the club but i didn't know at the time that which is going to come and also. in this time i was not in the good relationship with the coach who was relieved and i had to leave but i was sorry for sure because after two years i left chelsea won the championship you spearheaded only area a team which played in the champions league so why did you decide to make a move to combine a team which has been just relegated to the owner of the club and the governor of the region. especially in a manner for me three times in my house to convince me to come here that i think that was a fantastic reason and in the club i was working i was sure it is going in the

wrong direction because they finish the money and in this moment this club disappear from football and i think i did the right thing to move in the right time before they come to bonn they had five coaches in one year and i was a little bit scared about the situation but they said they want to change something and leave even though in the last three games in the road and there was the pressure a little bit last year i know that the owner of the club said. but it's going to be the new fed was sort of the bomb and he'll trust me do you thing that the world twenty teams can change something in this i'm sure the percent sure after the world cup but i shall be much better not just in the national team what also in the club competition and they will learn a lot from this and it's good for the country because there will be a new stadium of snow airports new streets new hotels i think it's fantastic for russia that the world cup will be here and i wish after the world cup i'll be

russia because that'll be the time to be here how do you think chelsea will do next season. i think everyone depends on the transfer will be as much just a matter of these really strong and they already been buying to replace. nothing. changes. where we have to leave the sport whether it's next. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
