St Tropez, Café de la Plage - September 1998

"We'd flown into St Tropez that afternoon, taking a break from setting up the studio and starting the new record.

Only 3 of the 75 guests had any idea of what was about to happen as Ray lurched upright to sing Just Like Heaven.

The beach party afterwards (sacré rouge!) was certainly worth the trip... needless to say the bash went on until we were all thrown away... and back at the hotel until the sun came up..."
