![]() After it stopped, Chris stood up, and he went: “No 1 smash!” And we were like: “Yeah? Really?” We weren’t expecting anything, but I remember the room was completely silent: everyone was listening really intently. ![]() We played it to Chris Thomas, the producer of Roxy Music and the Sex Pistols, who was staying at Dave and Siobhan’s. ![]() Stay was rewritten maybe four times – it sounded like a Prince song at one point – before Siobhan and I went back to the original, developed it, and made a cassette of it. Dave said: “You know how you always sing those ballads at our parties? Wouldn’t it be great to style a song like that to feature you?” And he had an idea for chords and a melody. Eventually, we would all start singing and jamming, and I would always end up doing ballads. You would not believe the crew that would show up – Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne from ELO, Timothy Leary. The idea came from these amazing parties Dave and Siobhan used to have.
