When being asked about Lyra who turned one in August, Ed said: "It has completely flown, but this is what every parent says, they're just like, oh, you know, it flies by, but really I feel like I've blinked and something like…"

"Yeah you know, I've got a long tour coming up so I think by the time that she'll probably start primary school we'll have been around the world like three or four times.

"So I think it's probably time to settle [then] and have a normal childhood I think."
