'Physically, my feet haven't been on the ground a lot,' Myles told me with a grin. 'It's been crazy. 'I've toured the world two times in the last year. 'Mentally for me though, it's about being in the moment and enjoying the fact I'm getting to do the thing I've wanted since I was ten years old.' The power of his hits including my favourites Stargazing, Nice To Meet Ya and Wait For You, are propelling Myles to stardom. 'I thought Time 100 had made a mistake,' he said with a laugh. 'Maybe it's actually Time 1,000. 'I'm among Nobel Prize winners and scientists who have figured out the atom, which is pretty cool.

'We've been in France, Germany and everywhere the last few weeks, and to come home and do it all again is incredible. 'To do it with the ginger legend himself is even better.'
