So how are you guys coping without B-Rok? Well, it's been kinda weird not having him around as we've still been doing some promotional stuff in the States. It feels a bit like you've got an arm missing or something, the group doesn't feel whole. You can be doing an interview on TV and the interviewer will ask you question that you can just hear Brian answering, and you wait for him to say something then you look round for him and he's not there...

But he's doing alright, isn't he? Yeah, he's doing really well. The operation was really successful and now he's just taking it easy. You know it was important that he had it done - you can't afford to go messing with something as serious as the heart, and once it's all over he's gonna be in even better condition than before.

It's been a hard couple of years being on the road constantly - has it made you tougher? Definitely. It's made us wiser, and I think we've grown up a lot in the last year or so - we've become strong individuals, and also as a group we've really grown together. We've learnt a lot about the business and also about entertaining.

Do you think you'd be different people if you were doing other jobs? I don't know. I guess we'd still all be doing something in the entertainment industry - something musically inclined, TV, commercials or whatever, but I don't think we'd be as strong mentally about what we were doing, you know? When you have a dream you really strive to achieve it, you do everything possible to make that dream real. And if we were doing something else we might like it and try almost as hard, but in a situation like this I look at it like I've got no choice - we've got to make it as big a success as we can - that's why it's so important to us!

You lot always seem so well behaved - do you ever do any outrageous things? The main thing for us is to be successful, and we know if we go out partying every single night, then we're not going to have a very long career, are we? Basically it's about getting the balance right. Although saying that, you know us - we sure do have a good time!
