Live & Kicking - September 1998

Kavana - you're a star!

What's it like to travel in limousines, have a minder take you to the loo & be treated like a king in Taiwan? Don't know? Well ask Kav, he knows and he can't get enough of it....

Do You Recieve Star Treatment Wherever You Go?
Not everywhere but I do often get to jump the queue at clubs and get me and my mates in for free. I enjoy the perks but I do feel guilty sometimes - I mean, why can't everyone be treated like that? Why should famous people get the best table in a restaurant and not Joe Normal from down the road?

What's The Most Glam Place You've Been To?
Well one of the best dos I went to was when I presented an award at the Chinese Music Awards - it was fantastic! I was flown over to China and given a Prada (v. swanky designer) suit. A limo picked me up and I walked up a red carpet with trillions of fans screaming at me! It was like being at the Oscars!

Do you Want to Be As Famous As Michael Jackson?
Oh yes - without a doubt! It would restrict me a bit though - I mean Jacko can't just walk about without getting mobbed can he? I certainly wouldn't wear a face mask if I were as famous as him!

In Which Country Are You Most Famous?
I'm really popular in Taiwan and when I went there it was frightening! I was treated like a king and I had to have a security guard with me - even when I went to the toilet! I stayed in an amazing hotel with electric curtains. I thought, it was a great week - but if it was for a lifetime it might send me bonkers!

When you're a Pop Trillionaire Will you Have a Huge Mansion?
Ooh I'd love a mansion in Malibu in America! I went to this big-shot producer man's house there recently - it had glass walls, huge wooden floors and it was right at the edge of the ocean. How lovely would that be? I'd also like to have a house in Dublin, Italy and Manchester. I've bought my mum and dad's house in Manchester but I need my own - I can't really have my pop star parties at me Mam's house!

Would You Have Servants?
Oh Yes, I'd treat them nicely, but I wouldn't call them servants. I'd call 'em housekeepers and they'd get a very god wage. I went to Gary Barlow's house for tea once and he had a butler who called us 'Sir'! he was like, 'Would you like me to pour your tea Sir? Can I  get your slippers Sir?' Can You Imagine That?

Do You Go To Very Glamorous Holiday Destinations?
Yes! I love the beach holidays and I've been to the Caribbean, California, Australia - all over the place. I'm very lucky to get to travel around the world with work too. I haven't been to India yet though. I'd love to go but there isn't a huge Kav demand in India for some reason!

Do You Ever Wish You Weren't Famous?
Not really. I mean, I still live a normal life - it was great when I was living in Italy making my album. It was in a little village and I went everywhere on my bike and nobody bothered me - lovely!

Do you Go All Wibbly and Embarrased When You Meet a Famous Person?
I don't usually, but I was in LA recently and I met Elton John. I'm not a huge fan but he came over and gave me a hug and I went all wibbly an tongue-tied. I wanted to say 'It's an honour to meet you' and it came out as, 'It's a meet to honour you!'
