The star, 52, who was the most recent performer on The Masked Singer, added he will always be proud of his nights on stage. 

‘To go out and try anything, you’ve got to be confident, you’ve got to believe in what you stand for, which I always have done,’ he told the Herald Sun . 

Jamie said he was able to circle the globe ’40 times over’ as part of his days with the all-male supergroup 

‘Travelling around the world enabled me to (study at) … university of life.’ 

Jamie said he was able to circle the globe ’40 times over’ as part of his days with the all-male supergroup. 

‘I was in South Africa aged 17, Las Vegas at 19, and playing in Paris and London when I was 21,’ he said.  

‘By the time I turned 24, I’d been around the world 30 or 40 times. Your mind absorbs a lot when you’re that age. You soak it up like a little sponge.’
