    You can tell the dude is introverted as hell. I recognize all the signs, little eye contact, squeezing the hands etc. Would just like to say I'm proud of what Mr. Steele has accomplished up till now. Obviously a very talented musician that lives in his own space, which is always admirable.

    I have no knowledge of this guy apart from listening to one of his songs recently, quite a handsome dude, body language tells all, my favorite is Walking on a dream, where I first heard this song from a movie True Spirit, Jessica Watson - Australian who sailed around the world, just fell in love with this song. Great music for some listeners, keep up the good music Dude!! From New Zealand

    Singers cannot hold falsetto notes as when they were younger. As one ages, the vocal cords stretch and your voice changes somewhat; especially if one smokes. However, the empire of the songs are the greatest!!!

    Watched that interview several times. Obviously Luke struggles with "getting older" already at an age of 43?! OMG, still so young! I think, Mick Jagger (80) hadn't wasted a second of thinking about "he's getting older", up to now🤣! Same Jon Bon Jovi (62). Barry Gibb (77) still performs singing high tones, which became his "trademark". Also for him this isn't his vocal "comfort zone", for sure. So, Luke, pull out all the stops, God gifted you a million awesome talents. Use them, and stay motivated. If the Solo-Album, if Empire of the Sun - all fantastic work!

    Oh my, where to start....First of all, Empire of The Sun was and still is one of the best bands. To be honest it's a shame that Luke and Nick split up. Look at Nick and PNAU, amazing remixes and film soundtracks, they're having a blast. Luke on the other hand....firstly he shouldn't hang out with that heroin addict junkie because that affected Luke in a very bad way. His music reflects way too strong abuse of drugs. Luke has been taking way too much, his music is average, nothing like Pnau, nothing like Empire of the Sun.
    What is the lesson to be learned, you ask? Don't hang out with junkies. Continue creating amazing music (Empire of The Sun and now PNAU).
