What does it take for a fan to fall in love all over again?

This week on The Struts Life, we welcome a guest whose story proves the sheer, transformative power of live rock and roll.

His journey begins with a lifelong devotion to his first love, Aerosmith, taking us through an unlikely series of events involving Hilton Honors rewards, a star-studded charity gala for Steven Tyler, and the Grammys. But everything shifts the moment Luke Spiller takes the stage for an unplanned, on-the-fly performance of a Rolling Stones classic that completely changes the energy in the room.

This is the incredible story of how a broken heart for one rock and roll legend was instantly healed by the undeniable charisma and raw talent of another, and it’s a must-listen for anyone who understands how a single Struts concert can create a fan for life.

To celebrate 10 years of Everybody Wants, we're doing something a little different on this episode of The Struts Life. Instead of our usual chat, we had you, the Strutters, send in your burning questions via voicemail, and let's just say you did not disappoint!

Join Luke Spiller, Adam Slack, Gethin Davies, and Jed Elliott as they pull back the curtain on one of the most pivotal times in the band's career. We dive deep into the real stories behind the songwriting, the intense pressure from the record label to change their entire image (picture Luke with short, black hair and Nike trainers), and the surprising truth about their smash hit "Could Have Been Me" – a song they didn't even think was that special at first.

Hear the band reveal which songs almost didn't make the cut, what they really think of that dated lyric in "She Makes Me Feel Like," and get some massive spoilers for the upcoming 10th Anniversary Tour setlist.

Trust me, you think you know the story of Everybody Wants, but you have no idea.
