“We shared the experience of coming to this country [United States] and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, a 75-square-meter house, a mother and a father, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming famous, of becoming parents and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I’ve spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in life,” says Alex.
