Travis: Where You Stand (album commentary) - part one

In an interview with Telegraph music critic Neil McCormick, Healy added: "In our business, there's a trail of rock widows and orphans. The guys go off on the road and never return.

"There was a moment, when my son Clay was two, and we were looking at the little globe in the house, and I was going here's where Nana is, and here's Australia, and he said, 'Where do you live, Papa?' My heart broke.

"I was going 'I live here with you', and he had this incredulous look on his face – 'no, you don't.' And he really meant it, because we spent so much time touring."

During the making of the album Where You Stand, each member of Travis had their own selection of music that helped them along the way as they wrote and recorded the sings.

Here is Dougie Payne's album influences playlist:

With two number one albums, five Top 10 singles, two Brit Awards and more than 8 million record sales Travis crafted songs which resonated throughout UK households, striking a chord with hits such as Turn, Why Does It Always Rain on Me and Sing.

The album, Where You Stand, is out on August 19 on Red Telephone Box records
