KT Tunstall and Hard Fi say success hasn't changed them

KT Tunstall says success has not altered her as a person, while Hard Fi's Richard Archer criticises bands who embrace the celebrity lifestyle.

KT Tunstall has announced that she "hasn't changed". Which is exciting. Yes, the multi-award winning, US conquering Scot has claimed that success hasn't really affected her, which is something most successful rock stars say at some point. Normally shortly after their success has changed them. But not KT; no, she's the same, remember.

With album number two released last week, KT has told reporters: "The last three years have changed me as an artist. I don't think it's altered me as a person - which is a relief! I think the major part of that change is that my bar has been raised - I've realised what's possible throughout the last three years of making a first album, touring it with a band, seeing how that album can turn into something else on stage, and how we can actually make it better".

Elsewhere, Hard Fi, also promoting album number two, of course, have made similar claims, with outspoken frontman Richard Archer criticising those bands that furrow the celebrity lifestyle, saying: "We wanted to do something different. All my favourite bands are inclusive and it is important that we remain that way for fans".
