Privacy is something you don't have anymore when you are as famous as Tj, Taj and Taryll from 3T. Mother murdered, offender arrested...Everything comes in the publicity. But 3T still got some secrets: female fans in the hotelroom, in love with Emma from the Spice Girls...In Breakout! they tell us all about it.

You must have to share a lot with your fans...

Tj: Indeed. We've done a lot of intervieuws ofcourse. So, our fans know about everything. But that is for us to blame. We find it hard to keep something to ourselves. If we don't want anything to be in publicity, we don't have to talk about it. It's that simple. But often things bother us that much, that we want to talk about it. For example the death of our our mother. Now, our fans know what is on our minds and who we are. We can act everything is fine, but that isn't honest.

Taj: Yes, and if we don't feel that fine, they know why. It's not good to lose your mother this way. The sorrow stays for a long time. People always think we are that happy, well, we are not.

Have real fun, is that still possible?

Taryll: Don't get us wrong. We don't fool anyone. If you see us having fun on stage, than it is real. We love the photoshoots as well. That is no fake. We enjoy life, but ofcourse the memorie of our mother stays. Luckely there is three of us and we regularly see a familymember. You can help eachother, but it isn't always easy.

Taj: we don't complane, but we see being an artist more serious. A couple of years ago it was different, but there has changed a lot.

Taryll: Ofcourse we have fun as well. A lot of fun!

You are cheered up suddenly. Any gossip we need to know?

Taryll: Something like that, yes. Let's start with Taj. He collects stamps! Cool, isn't it?

Taj: Hee!, But only stamps with musicinstruments on them.

Taryll: Oh, that helps.

Taj: Tj told me something lately as well. In France he fell in love with a french fan.

Tj: Oh no, this is going to end up wrong.

Taj: He says nothing happened that evening, but he spend the whole evening with that french girl in his hotelroom.

Tj: So what? We had a nice converstion. She was very nice and interested. I am only human. I like talking to fans, especially when it is a girl. I never would take advantage of the situation! But, lets talk about our big friend Taryll here.

Good idea!

Taj: Taryll is ....eh...can we say it? Taryll is hopelessly in love with Emma from the Spice Girls. We met a couple of times and he adores her.

Taryll: Look who's talking. All 3 of us love her.

Tj: She is defenetly the best Spice Girl, but the others are nice as well.

Taryll: Another gossip? If we are in Holland we often sneak out, without the bodygaurds knowing. We come up with an excuse and go in town. Especially Amsterdam we like. Sunglasses and caps on. Skeelers on and skate round the whole day. One time we were out so long the bodygaurds came and look for us.

Tj: That ws fun. But you have to watch out in Amsterdam that your wheels don't get stuck in the tramrails!

Imagine you fall down in front of loads of photographers!

Tj: That would be a disaster. You know, I've got another gossip. we wrote a song for our little nephew Prince Micheal Junior. We are so happy for uncle Micheal. He wanted to be a father for so long. He haven't heard the song yet, so we are going to sing it for him first.

Taryll: Yeah, we let him hear it soon. Our tour is finished. The last two concerts were in France and now we go back home.

What are you going to do?

Taj: Rest. We want to see our friends and family again, chat up. I loved the tour, but I'm glad we are going home again.

Taryll: rest and then go back in the studio. Till the end of this year we will be busy recording the new album. We didn't do much for it already, but after the break we are going to work hard on it. The performance, the contact with the fans, the travelling, we would want to miss it for a thing!
