Luke Pritchard, the frontman of The Kooks, has shared insights into his journey as a father, particularly after losing his dad at just three years old. He describes fatherhood as a fulfilling experience that has filled an emotional void in his life. Pritchard strives to be a present role model for his sons, Julian and Wesley, ages four and two, respectively. He enjoys involving them in his music, stating they have already been in the studio with him. The boys are developing distinct musical tastes, with Wesley showing a fondness for T.Rex and Julian leaning towards pop artists like Kim Petras. The Kooks are gearing up for a busy festival season, performing at the Isle of Wight, Kendal Calling, and Boardmasters. Luke expresses enthusiasm for playing their classic hits, emphasizing the energy of live performances, even after two decades of singing them. He humorously admits that he still occasionally forgets the lyrics during shows.
