Josh Franceschi is prepared for pretty much anything after nearly 20 years as lead vocalist of smash group You Me at Six.
But now he wants you to fire questions at him as he takes part in the Daily Star’s Facebook Live event tomorrow.
You Me at Six are in the process of shedding their indie-rock skin to delve into dance, R&B and hip hop and the countdown is on as we await their new look.
Becoming bolder and more experimental, fans can’t wait to sample SUCKAPUNCH for themselves on Friday.
But before the big launch fans are being given an incredible chance to log on and put anything they want to their favourite frontman at www.facebook.com/thedailystar.

Josh will be taking questions on the live chat on Thursday, kicking-off at 12.30pm. You can join him here.
Made in Thailand after a tumultuous year for the majority of the band, the album’s themes are rooted in reflection and redemption.
They are using hardships as a catalyst for empowerment, creativity and progression.

“As an artist, you’re here to polarise opinion, and that’s important,” he told NME.
“That’s why I think some of the great, great bands and artists of our time have done that.
“I’m not saying that we’re one of them, but we’ve obviously done enough to be around for 15 years and be on our seventh album, but we’ve got a lot of haters which is good.”
Talk about stopping them when they’re really getting going.

“We need to show people why we’re still here,” Josh says ahead of our Facebook Live event.
“Yes, we’re hungry for more success, but what matters now is how we achieve it. Where do we go that we haven’t been before? How do we challenge ourselves as well as our fans? What does it mean to be in this band?”
Formed in 2004 in Weybridge, Surrey, he says they are becoming fearless with their new approach.
He will talk more about the inspiration behind the new songs and why they have no plans to stop yet.

Josh added. “Every song has its own identity. Some are more recognisably You Me at Six, but with different elements.
“We did a lot of looking back to where we’d been before to work out where we could go. There’s no point repeating yourself. This is the sound of us changing lanes.”
Don’t miss the Facebook Live Event at 12.30pm on Thursday.
