The band took a break before putting out seventh album 'Wildness' in , which peaked at Number 2 and was certified Gold. They also released 'Reworked' in , which - as you can probably guess - contained several of their biggest hits that the band had reworked.

They sure are! The band took a break after the release of 'Fallen Empires' as Gary was suffering from writer's block, later revealing that it made him feel "useless" and adding, "There's a lot of depression that is attached to it as well, because you feel like, 'Maybe the only gift I have has deserted me,' and you're kind of inconsolable really. Thankfully, he was able to overcome it with the advice of other musicians, who told him to keep writing - "even if it's jibberish".

Snow Patrol have recently hinted that they are working on new music, and in an Instagram post discussing their rescheduled tour dates, they wrote within their caption: 'tours will come with a new album which we are working on'. Although there are no more details as of yet, we're sure their eighth album will be worth the wait.

Snow Patrol played The Other Stage in , and were slated to perform in Unfortunately, they were forced to pull out of the gig after a serious injury left Johnny McDaid in need of immediate surgery on his neck. The band also cancelled upcoming tour dates, and Nathan Connolly was also recovering from nerve damage.

I went through the list on Spotify one time, and it just kept scrolling for ages. There are so many covers of it. It is a beautiful thing so many people covering a song you wrote.

I have been writing a lot, we have all been writing a lot. The songs are there, we just need to get in and record them. So however long that takes. Comment on the news of the day, join Noise11 on Facebook.

He told the Belfast Telegraph how a health scare in - when infections ravaged his ears, eyes and sinuses - proved a major wake-up call: "I knew I had to change my lifestyle, which up to that point had revolved around booze, and I just stopped drinking.

Just as a human being, the courage it takes to face yourself and face your demons - because we all have them - but what Gary has done is he's faced them very publicly. And he's faced them in a way that allows people to resonate with them and to see that they are not on their own. He's really encouraging us to talk amongst ourselves and inspiring us to be better versions of ourselves. He adds: "That sort of bravery and the way that he does it is beautiful and inspiring. He has approached it with a lightness and a joy that can be missed if we don't bring that up too.

There is as much joy as there is exploring darkness. Describing Gary as one of his heroes, he says that he and the rest of the band are like brothers. To be fair, they do go back rather a long way together now, first getting together as students at university in Scotland in Their big break came in thanks to a deal with Polydor and the release of their album Final Straw, which set them firmly on a course to stardom. Reflecting on their friendship, Johnny says now: "Gary's also a great friend - and a great shoulder to lean on.

When we talk about this record Wildness , when he is writing these songs and words, it's easy to look at it as if he was leaning on us the whole time, that's not the case, we were leaning on Gary too and we lean on him because he is an incredibly strong being. Johnny's frankness when we chat is all the more remarkable given that the band are generally quite private and prefer to let their music do the talking. But he says that he understands why there is a curiosity about their personal lives - something he has experienced many times.

He laughs as he talks about the number of times it's been reported that he's gotten married this year to fiancee Courteney Cox, who starred in Friends and has year-old daughter Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette.

Johnny and Courteney 53 started dating in and announced their engagement on Twitter in Since then there has been huge speculation about when - and where - they might wed. I think I've gotten married 15 times in the last year.

There is a missing part of that equation, I'm on tour at the moment and Courteney is in LA. So it would be really difficult for me to get married unless I do it by proxy or over Skype or something.

I expect the curiosity but I also respect my relationship and my love. And it clearly is a love-match. Johnny speaks in poetic language about his relationship with the American actress. He says: "If you've ever been in love you know that love, it doesn't change when it is analysed or if it's public, it's still love, and it has what all relationships have - challenges and joys.
