I dance really well for two or three minutes, and then I’ve peaked.Phil, I’m 18 and a big fan of yours All my friends laugh at me and tell me I’m really sad. Would you consider becoming a bit cooler?Finn Sanderson, by e-mailSad I don’t know what to say. It’s your problem, not mine.Any plans to turn your greatest hits into a musical ?a We Will Rock You and Our House?Pinny James, High WycombeNo. Putting Tarzan on stage is the closest I will get to a musical.Is there any chance that you’ll forsake chart success for a return to the more adventurous drumming of your earlier years, as evidenced in the fusion band Brand X, for example?Andrew Clarke, by e-mailNo, there is no chance of me going back to that My 21st-century version of Brand X is My Big Band. If you want to check out the more adventurous side of the drumming then take a look at that.

It is a grown up version of Brand X.Phil Collins’s new single ‘Can’t Stop Loving You’ is out now on EastWest Records His new album, ‘Testify’, is out on Monday. Sir Jimmy Young announced yesterday that he is to seek new challenges outside the BBC after more than 50 years as one of its most popular broadcasters. The undignified row surrounding the Paul Burrell story gained momentum this morning. While The Sun’s front page proclaimed “Queen Blasts Barmy Butler”, Mr Burrell launched a scathing attack on Diana, Princess of Wales’s family in the Daily Mirror. In it he criticised her brother, Earl Spencer, calling him a “hypocrite” for his “stomach turning” speech at the funeral and claimed Frances Shand Kydd made “shocking” telephone calls to her daughter late at night.

In a pointed attack on Earl Spencer, Mr Burrell, 44, added: “And I, for one, would never have paraded her life before a museum and charged £10.50 a time.”As part of his first interview with the paper yesterday ­ in a deal said to be worth £300,000 ­ he claimed the Queen had warned him about “powers at work” in the country. This morning’s Sun retorted with assertions that the monarch was “livid” about the “ramblings of a madman”. I can also confirm that a national newspaper offered me a bung to supply him [Mr Burrell] to them. It was an extraordinary thing to do and I feel totally offended that they thought I would stoop so low.”The deal with the Mirror, which printed 10 pages yesterday focusing on Mr Burrell’s account of the conversation four years ago with the Queen that led to him being cleared at the Old Bailey last Friday, was sealed at a comparatively low price by Fleet Street standards.Packages for the serialisation rights to books, such as the recent autobiographies of Ulrika Jonsson and Edwina Currie, now regularly reach six figures. The story of Mr Burrell, with his intimate knowledge of the Royal Family, would have been worth considerably more.Rival publications such as the Daily Mail, which had been the favourite to clinch a deal because of the links between its royal reporter, Richard Kay and the butler, is understood to have offered £600,000. The Sun is believed to have offered £1m in a package with its fellow News International publication, News of the World. None of the titles was commenting on Mr Warwick’s claims last night.Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mr Burrell, from Farndon, Cheshire, became the target of a backlash from publications that failed.
