We never talked about her dying and what she was going to leave me or I would ever leave her. We just didn't talk about those things.

I sang it at the Atlantic Records show because I'm an old softie and it was my way of saying thank you to Atlantic because I've been with them for 20 years. But no more of `Stairway to Heaven' for me.
