He added: 'He's got a real joy for life, he loves working with new artists. I think he and (husband) David (Furnish), five years ago, had this plan of one last tour, we'll do the book, we'll do the film and it's all just kind of going better and better and better.

'I think he will stick to his work and stop touring but it's kind of on fire at the moment. It's good.'
