Earlier on, James was talking about his finances when he confessed: ‘People don’t realise the money associated, so for example our best year was when I was 19 the band made four million.
‘Now there’s four of us in the band and I pay 45% tax, 20% to our management and our record label takes 10% so in my best year ever I earned 250k and that’s the most I’ve ever earned in a year.’

Continuing with his detailed explanation, James said: ‘Now I’m on 150k a year and so I can’t afford to get a really lovely car, I’ve got a second hand car that was like 30 grand and I traded my old one in for it.
‘I’m very happy but ten years ago there was a lot more money in the music industry.
‘Now it’s difficult and unless you are one of the biggest people in the world, there’s not millions and millions.’

He said: ‘There’s a few actors, people performing for the cameras. It’s frustrating sometimes.’
