"I love her to bits, she’s amazing and I certainly would not have got through the last 20 years … without her.

"She never hassled me or anything like that but you know, I’ll do this thing and hey, how lucky she is! Let’s face it!"

The 62-year-old Boomtown Rats frontman said the tragic death of his beloved daughter, Peaches, in April, made him reassess and make his long-term relationship official.

"And then Peaches died and things were very bleak and there was… I thought how do we move forward?" he asked.

"I don’t mean move on, as I say, time doesn’t heal, it accommodates, it finds an available space in your brain and you can stick that part in there and it allows you to see things in context."

Sir Bob added: "And I didn’t want to rush it or anything and I was going to do it anyway and I thought no, we need to let some air into the room, we need to let some light into that air.

"The wedding thing, if it happens it’ll have to happen before we do this tour.”

Congratulations Sir Bob and Jeanne.
