Future mapped out for quartet
Sep 21 2007
ON the face of it, it doesn't seem too much of a hardship!
Three years of unprecedented success, including 18 million album sales and 39 number one's, have left the members of Il Divo with the rich trappings you would expect.
But, as one of the group reveals, their future has been mapped out for at least the next two and a bit years, and that presents its own problems.
Urs Buhler, the Swiss member of the classical quarter says on the eve of a Birmingham book-signing tomorrow: "We are planning to be together till the end of 2009 and then get a picture of what's going to happen.
"In a way, that's a bit suffocating, knowing we have another two and a half years. But I suppose it's also a bit reassuring, knowing who your friends are.
"I still enjoy what I'm doing so I could see us going on for maybe another five years, but not at this pace."
Urs, and fellow band members David Miller, Carlos Marin and Sebastien Izambard, will be at Borders in the Bullring to sign copies of their autobiography.
Amidst comments about their success, and pop guru creator Simon Cowell, the book gives a revealing insight into their personal lives and, even, a hint of conflict within the band.
Adds Urs: "The hardest thing is being with the same people all the time, every day. And no matter how well you get on, you end up getting on each other's nerves, especially if you're sick and haven't slept well."
But he reassures fans there is no chance of Il Divo following G4 by splitting up.
"It's never really come close to that. If anyone thought of walking out, they would quickly realise what they were giving up."
Urs says his father walking out on the family when he was 16 made him more determined to succeed. But he adds: "No-one could have hoped or dreamt how successful Il Divo would be.
"I was very sceptical in the beginning but I now think I am one of the luckiest people in the world, career-wise and financially. But I would rather have Simon Cowell's end of the deal," he jokes.
Il Divo will sign copies of their autobiography at Borders in the Bull Ring tomorrow at 12pm.

Очень спокойный и уверенный, красивый мужчина, полностью вжившийся в свою роль. Где я была, когда он ходил у нас по Музею?
