Neil expressed their plans, saying, ‘We’re planning to do a tour in Australia. I think maybe next year.’
‘What I should say is we’re in discussion about coming to Australia next year,’ he added.

The duo also shared their love for Chris Lilley’s ‘Mr G’ character from Summer Heights High.
‘There’s someone else we like.. Chris Lilley, Summer Heights High.. Mr G… what a program,’ Lowe told the delighted hosts.
Tennant met his musical partner Lowe randomly in a hi-fi shop on London’s King’s Road in 1981 and they’ve remained dedicated to holding pop to a higher standard ever since.

With hits such as It’s a Sin – The Pet Shop Boys have sold more than 50million records worldwide and were listed as the most successful duo in UK music history in 1999.
And Tennant recently revealed that he is not convinced by Taylor Swift, 34, and argued she has no stand-out hits such as Micheal Jackson’s Thriller and Billie Jean following the release of her 12th album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
The 68-year-old said: ‘She fascinates me as a sort of phenomenon because she is so popular.’
‘I sort of like the whole thing but then think, “Where are the famous songs? What is Taylor Swift’s Billie Jean?”‘

‘Shake it Off? Is it though? I listened to that the other day and it is not Billie Jean.’
Tennant, a synth-pop legend continued his attack on the singer and said: ‘To have a successful pop career now you have to have a series of relationships which are amazing and then break up tragically.’
‘I wonder what the other half of the relationship feels about this.
‘People don’t write songs like Karma Chameleon any more.’
