Chesney Hawkes joins me for a wide-open conversation about the song that defined a generation, the twists and turns that followed, and why now feels like the perfect moment for a fresh chapter. We talk about the legacy of The One and Only, how fame shaped him at nineteen, his years in LA, and the decision to move back to the UK after more than a decade away. 

He also lifts the lid on his upcoming UK tour this March — what fans can expect, how the new material lands live, and why he feels more connected to performing than ever before. 

There’s music, reflection, behind-the-scenes stories, and the energy of someone stepping confidently into a new era. A thoughtful, uplifting interview with a genuinely iconic voice of British pop.
