Watch here beginning at 24:30.
Joe discusses performing in Canada, recording Personal Jesus, the upcoming Las Vegas residency and their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
Thanks to deflep for the heads up!
How did the second Las Vegas residency come to be?
Joe: "We were basically invited by Planet Hollywood. You know, this is something.... they make an offer to your management and then they sit down and negotiate, and then you just have to get the timelines right. We have a European tour starting this June that runs into the beginning of July. Then we've got Canada for the rest of July. And then we do Vegas August 14th, I think it is, 'til September the 7th. Once all the timelines are in and then they put the offer to us.... "Do you want to do this?" We were instantly on board straight away because having done it six years ago, it was fantastic being able to sleep in the same bed for a month. And the fans came to us. We got to experience.... we become residents of Las Vegas for a month and just like enjoy this crazy city and put on 12 shows where we can change things up a little bit, which is kinda necessary when you play the same venue for 12 shows. It's a lot different to doing 12 shows in 12 cities. If you do the same set night after night, it's just Groundhog Day. It'll drive you mad. So, we will change it up here and there. But, yeah, it'll be a lot of fun. We've done it before and enjoyed it. It was one of the reasons we said yes to it this time."
