Andy's days of being carefree and fancy free are long gone! He likes nothing better than rising from bed at 5 or 6 a.m., taking a boat out and just spending the day lazily fishing and thinking of song lyrics.
Sometimes Andy does get to spend a day of fun in the sun either fishing, boating, or scuba diving when he's home for a rest in Florida. But most of the time these days he's on the go. That means getting up early, having a hearty breakfast to give him energy to face the day and then plunging into a day full of interviews, photo sessions, business appointments, trips to the recording studio, etc. Often he has to get on a plane and fly from one city to another.
Going on the road for concerts is fun at first, but after a few one night stands, Andy and many other rock stars will tell you that hotel rooms and hotel food get plenty boring. The concerts themselves require lots of energy and each day requires a rehearsal and sound check the afternoon before the show. All lighting effects must also be checked. Andy has to prepare a list of songs he's going to sing and the order they will be in the show and go over them with his band.
In between concert tours, you'll find Andy doing guest spots on variety specials, being interviewed on talk shows and going to L.A. to visit fashion designer Fleur Thiemeyer.
When he's home in Florida, Andy usually spends lots of time with his mom, dad, sis Berri and his three famous brothers, Barry, Maurice and Robin. They enjoy playing pool, having one another over for dinner, swimming, playing with the dogs, and just enjoying being together. They're a really happy family and they never get tired of one another's company.
When he does get a long break from touring or recording, Andy loves visiting places like the Bahamas and The Mediterranean. He also loves Hawaii and hopes to visit France and Japan sometime.
Does he miss Australia? Sometimes he says he misses the kangaroos and koalas... he's an animal lover! He wishes he had more time to sightsee in the places he plays, too. He's spent lots of time in New York and L.A., but there are lots of places in the U.S. he's never seen that he'd really like to visit.
Although, he rarely has the time anymore, Andy does like to read. He also enjoys skimming through comic books to relax at bedtime. He digs listening to his stereo and favors the Eagles, Don McLean, Steely Dan, and Fleetwood Mac.
And, of course, there's always the endless pile of fan mail waiting to be read.
If you ever happen to be on a place going from Florida or L.A. or Florida to New York or even New York to L.A. or vice versa, and you happen to see an adorable looking guy with a gorgeous bod and touseled blond locks sprawled out in the seat catching a few winks we'd suggest you look closely, because it just might be Andy! He's had to learn to catnap in-between his many appointments to keep up the hectic pace he leads!
We'd love to spend 24 hours with him, wouldn't you?
