It's been some time since Planet Of Women last performed live, having originally taken time out to record their new album. Jade was then diagnosed with a lung disease that affected not only her high-energy performance but also her every day life severely.
For many months this disease held Jade back from her love of music but thankfully seems to be under control for the time being, with the help of ongoing strong medication.
During a recent rehearsal, we asked Jade how she's feeling about the upcoming support tour. She took time out of her hectic schedule to tell us. .
"Argh, I've had an horrendous time! I've been in and out of hospital, and been seen by a fantastic Professor who seems to have got this lung disease under control with strong medication. It has definitely helped but the medication has caused a change it my appearance, most visibly is the weight gain. I still have bad days, it can be incredibly painful, but I'm feeling a lot stronger now.
I'm so excited about going out on the road again, I can't wait to see all the people who have continued to support Planet Of Women despite being away for so long. I'd especially like to thank them for their emails and messages throughout this time. I haven't always replied quickly, if at all actually (laughs sheepishly) as it's a well-known fact I'm not too good on the computer – though I'm trying to learn! Seriously, though, I really am looking forward to 'getting out there' again and meeting up with everybody."
[Jade politely thanks us for coming to see her but says that she needs to get back into rehearsals now, but adds . . .]
"Tell everyone 'See you down the front!' "
