What I will say is that it was based on the last scene in Saltburn.' Chesney revealed that his kids – Casey, 23, Jesse, 21, and Indi, 18, who he has with his wife Kristina – laughed the nude video off as a 'midlife crisis' for their father. 'There was a lot of laughter going on and slight embarrassment going on.
But they're cool with it,' he confessed. 'I've got an 18 year old, a 21 year old and a 23 year old. So they're like, "It's just Dad doing his thing, having fun, having a midlife crisis".
' Meanwhile, Chesney thinks that his new single may take some of his fans by surprise as it has a 'dance feel'. He explained: 'This has got kind of a dance feel to it, that I guess people might be a little surprised by. What I wanted was for people to hear it on the radio and be like, "That's Chesney Hawkes?!''' Chesney last released music in 2012 when he put out his third studio album, Real Life Love.
He is best-known for his first single The One And Only, written by Nik Kershaw. The song was number one in the UK for five weeks and even reached the top-10 of the US charts. Chesney said: 'I bare it all in this video and I just kind of went, "F*** it", I'm having fun'.
What I will say is that it was based on the last scene in Saltburn' (pictured) In April, Chesney revealed that he squandered £8.2million after finding such huge success aged just 19. Speaking on the My Dirty Laundry podcast , Chesney revealed he burned himself out with 'utter exhaustion' due to his 'crazy' lifestyle.
Admitting he can relate to fellow stars Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran , he urges young people in the industry to 'be careful and make sure they don't burn out like he did.' Chesney admitted: 'I did that classic thing when I first made it of just blowing everything. I bought a state of the art studio.
I bought everyone in my family a car. So yeah, we had fun. Chesney is best-known for his first single The One And Only, written by Nik Kershaw Chesney's new single Get A Hold Of Yourself will be released on September 18 'My brother Jodie is my drummer and he was with me through the whole time.
And yeah, we enjoyed it, because we were young. We were 19 and 17, and we toured all over the world - America, Japan , it was an amazing time. 'It was like living in the eye of a storm.
So I had my family and the people around me in this kind of bubble, you know? 'I would be thrown into the hurricane and I'd be gone. And then I'm off to Sweden and then I'm off to New York. I never knew where I was waking up for that first year.
It was mental. It was really crazy.' Get A Hold Of Yourself will be released on September 18 and is available for pre-sale now.
