THEY are well on their way to becoming rock 'n' roll royalty but The Script stars say they miss original Dublin chipper food while on tour.
Drummer Glen Power said he likes nothing more than tucking into a greasy spice burger when he's back home.
"I miss loads of things about Dublin," Glen (31) told the Herald. "But I really miss the chipper food. You can't get food like that except in Ireland.
"I miss the chips and a good old spice burger. If you try and explain it to Americans they have no idea what you're talking about."
Glen says frontman Danny O'Donoghue and guitarist Mark Sheehan also miss Dublin's culinary delights.
But the lads are quick to buoy each others spirits when they suffer from hunger pangs or home sickness.
"The hardest part is being away from home and your family," Glen said.
"It's the real knife in the belly. But you help each other and pick each other up. But when you get on stage each night you are reminded that it's an amazing job."
The Script are gearing up for concerts tonight and tomorrow in Dublin's O2 arena and Glen says no matter how many times he plays, he never gets over his nerves.
"You feel like your legs are made of weights when you're waiting to go on," he said.
"I never get used to it. But once you get on stage there's that wow factor. Nothing beats playing in your home country and county."
The boys are touring Ireland and the UK before heading down under for the Australian leg of their tour. Once they've finished there, they will jet set to the USA.
It's shaping up to be a hectic year, and Glen already has some ideas for their next album.
"We would love to do a collaboration with Adele, we toured with her and supported her so it would be nice to record something with her.
"She is a lovely woman and so down to earth – what you see is what you get."
