He told Billboard magazine: "So I heard the Celtic supporters singing it about three years ago. I went over to Dublin and did my homework.I visited the jail (Kilmainham, now a museum) and went into the chapel where it all happened.So it means a lot to me, that one, it really does."

He claimed in 2018 that he was banned from singing it on the BBC because of its "Irish, anti-English overtones".
