Gun violence in the US is part of what convinced him to return to the UK full-time, he told the Observer.
“I’m sick of people being killed every day,” he said of American gun violence. “God knows how many people were shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Las Vegas at that show… it’s crazy.”
