Back in 2016, Peter paid tribute to Doris in his solo album, A Version of Now.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph at the time, he said: ‘I’m just pinching myself…thinking about when I met my wife and fell in love and we held it together through all this time and all the things that have happened.’
He added: ‘How important is that? If you don’t end up writing a song about that, you’re not very good, are you?’
