You can tell where his mentality is because he keeps using "we" instead of " I" . His musical journey seems to have been a team effort. Great music through the years.

One of the great rock voices. Needs to be inducted in the HOF

I love his sense of humour. Seems like such a genuinely nice guy

There are no 1980's without Huey Lewis and the News.

born in '72, typical mid-80's skate punk: and really, really glad this dude is still around. like Hall & Oates, this was radio music worth listening to.

Huey seems like such a cool, down to earth dude. It's a shame to learn about his hearing issues, I hope he gets better.

I’m a hard rock and metal guy. I’ll always have a soft spot for Huey Lewis and his music. My first concert in 1984.

Finally, Huey reacts to American Psycho

Huey Lewis is the king of 80’s music, I can never get enough of his music!

Huey Lewis could play Tom Hanks in a biopic about Tom Hanks playing Huey Lewis in a biopic.

Get well soon Huey. You are one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century and you put together some music that will outlive all of us.

Watching this brought me BACK IN TIME

"Is everybody happy with their feet?" What a great story!

Love Huey. You'd never know how successful he's been. So down to earth.

He is just such a sympathetic guy. The music of my childhood.

Lewis is so calming. Love listening to him talk about his music. He's also rather adorable. Seems like a nice guy.

Man...Huey is that guy that ya just can't hate. I grew up listening to their music and I still enjoy it to this day. Great band!

Huey looks like that cool uncle in your family.

How can you not love Huey? Hoping his hearing recovers. Fun and ultra talented music.

Such a good human being. Definitely a fantastic musician.

“Plan B” is so underrated. Great R&B-feel, crisp and clean live sound, some of the band’s best playing and Huey’s singing, and a bunch of really good songs.

“If This Is It” is my favorite. It made me glad to hear it *might* be his favorite, too.

Sports was the first tape I owned, and the first concert I saw was Huey Lewis and the News at the Starlight Bowl in San Diego. I was 16 or so, and went with my brother. We were easily the youngest in the crowd, and loved VERY MINUTE of it. I shared Sports with my young son recently, and he also loved it. Best to you, Huey Lewis!

Saw these guy's in '87 with my Dad. Best show I ever saw.

Huey lewis is the man who inspired me to play a guitar and sing. I can listen to all of his albums, in their entirety and love almost every single song. He (and the news) are very underrated. They are very talented and a different band. I'm glad Hes still around and hope he makes a good come back

LOVE HUEY! I actually met HUEY in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (the early 90s) at 5am on a Sunday in the very empty casino. He was on the house phone waiting for something. The night before, he and the band did a show in the main showroom. We broke into a chat for a bit. Super cool guy; especially at that time in the morning. I honestly was surprised to see him there so early given the show they put on. I thought I was the ONLY nutjob who goes to the late show and still gets up early in the morning. Maybe he was up all night? I don't know. What I do know is that he is a very cool guy....just like his music! They even did some acapella harmonies showing off their true talents! LOVE HUEY LEWIS! 3 Cheers

Huey's artistic contribution to the BTTF movie was like the perfect icing on the perfect cake. Nobody else could've pulled off doing both a theme soundtrack and a cameo appearance except him.

As a teenager in the 80's Huey Lewis and News were huge. His songs have stood the test of time. Sorry to hear about your condition (no pun intended). Hope your hearing recovers as much as possible so you and the News can get back on the road. Cheers!

I got to quickly meet Huey in 2013 backstage the Hard Rock in Vegas. He’s a class act and I’ve been a fan since 1985

I was on the USS Enterprise and Huey visited us out in the Pacific Ocean. Thanks Huey.

Sports was my favorite album when I was in elementary school! It never gets old! Glad Huey is back 👍

Great band led by a great singer. They were huge in the 80s and very few bands achieved their commercial success. Huey Lewis is very much a legend.

One of the major contributors to the soundtrack of my youth. Had the privilege of seeing Huey twice, once in the summer of '85, and then early in '87, and he put on great shows both times. He always seems like such a down to earth kind of guy who appreciated the success he achieved without it going to his head. Hope his hearing gets better soon.

I luv that band! normal guys with no egos and great songs!

Thanks Huey- absolutely love your music. Thanks for all the years of great tunes and here’s to many more. Hang in there,you’ll get your hearing stabilized.

I've seen Huey Lewis and the news twice. To see them live is such an incredible experience. I really hope for the best with Huey's hearing so that we can have another chance to see them live but I will always have my memories of the amazing shows I have seen. If they ever get back on stage do not pass up a chance to see them you will regret it if you do.

I hope Huey gets his hearing back, I couldn't imagine being a musician and losing your hearing. I would imagine it's like having your whole world flipped upside down. Get better soon, Huey!

Praying for healing for you Huey, in Jesus’ name, Amen. Oh, and the heart of rock and roll is still beating in TX!

His voice was always pitch perfect and he sang with feeling, and I love how his band made perfect pop music 🙌🏾 Legend. Could always tell he was influenced by the R&B greats ❤️

My heart breaks for Huey's medical challenge. I really hope he can overcome and return to performing.

This was fantastic & I luv that Huey is kind of having a resurgence in the media lately (New album, Jimmy Kimmel Live, KZfaq & The Big Interview with Dan Rather). He deserves every minute of it though. So many great albums & hit singles & great music videos as well. Also a tremendous live performer. I just hope that someday soon he will get inducted into the HOF. He is, IMHO, one of the finest musicians that America has ever produced.

Wow. The heart of rock and roll is still beating. Your passion and dedication is so prevalent in this interview.

I was friends with his road manager (Uli Perez) in 1986, and we did a few concerts and after parties with Huey and the band, all lovely people. Huey was a really nice guy, and a seemed to be a devoted family man, which was great to see for the business he was in. The concerts were wonderful fun too. Thanks for the memories.

So few BRILLIANT (honest and humble) musicians, like this left... *Huey Rules!*

I’m so glad I grew up in the ‘80s when Huey Lewis & The News was constantly on the radio. “Couple Days Off” is probably my favorite song by them, it’s a shame it gets so overlooked.

Don't Give Up Huey.....We need you back at the mic doing what you do best....cranking out those really great tunes and nobody does it like you ..and the guys too!! Big Fan since first album.

My grandfather was stationed at Fort Baker and the Presidio back when Huey was in his formative years. That might explain why I gravitated toward his stuff in later years. His music was part of the soundtrack of my youth and I’ll need to give his later stuff a listen. Thank you for everything you’ve given this quite small and less than perfect world.

Weather is great Huey! Her love is killing me has that Huey Lewis and the News sound. And I hope you're hearing gets to a point where you can sing again.

I actually listen to their first album more than any other album they did. It's criminally underrated.

"Picture This" is my favorite. It was my first HL&TN cassette and really captures a turning point in music in the early '80s. The songs are mostly quirky, goofy and fun and yet their influences, camaraderie and musicianship are all upfront. "Tattoo" (co-written with Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy) is an earworm with Huey smashing his absolute highest range. "Do You Believe In Love" is a Mutt Lange tune. "Is It Me" is a sweet throwback ballad with a haunting sax solo. "Buzz Buzz Buzz" wraps up a collection of uplifting nostalgia tunes while signaling more of this to come. Check it all out, if you haven't. It's a real treat!

One of my favorite bands of all time I was lucky enough to see them at the Marin county fair before Huey retired so glad I was there and they were amazing live .🙌🏻

Four Chords and Several Chords Ago is their most underrated album I think, I love it

So many great records. Personally, I love the Small World album and I'm glad to hear Huey Lewis talk about it here, even though it was not a big seller. The jazz influence, the variety of styles that it explores, and the risks that the band takes give it a unique place in the discography. I wrote Lewis a letter once to express my gratitude for this album and he was kind enough to write back.

what a legend

I have been lucky enough to see Huey Lewis and The News 4 times over the years. Always a good time, such a great live band would see them a 5th time if they ever toured again ❤

I saw the band right before they broke big in late November at a packed college bar in Youngstown Ohio. The really rocked the place. No one could dance because we were packed in so tightly. It was so hot and sweaty inside and outside it was freezing. On the walk to the car by glasses fogged up solid. A month later they would be MTV staples. The next summer we saw them again at Blossom and they drew over 20,000. Some of the best times of my life. I will always love this great band.

I love his music and I love his personality. He comes across as a very humble man.

Huey all i can say thank you making music i grew up on it's awesome and great horns my favorite LP is Sports and Fore will always be a classic forever.

So glad I stumbled across this. I never got to see him live and that is a shame. If / When he tours again I can't wait to go and take my daughter!

Saw them on the 4th of July on the beach at Camp Pendleton with the fireworks & we learned he too was in the Marine Corps. This was the early 90s. With the music playing& the fireworks blasting I kissed a beautiful young lady. Thanks for the great memory Huey. What great fun. To be young again!

Huey was, is and will always be the best.

With such great groups in the 80s, like Dire Straits, Tears for Fears, INXS, Bon Jovi, etc., Huey Lewis and the News was always my all time favorite (although I will admit that my guilty pleasure were the Bangles. There, I admit it). Huey Lewis was here in Chile, and the people that met him said he was a real down to earth guy. Hope he gets better of his hearing, he's still got years of good music left in him.

Huey Lewis & The News has been a favorite band of mine since I was a teenager! I loved hearing the perspective of Huey Lewis on his albums through the years. I'm praying for Huey's health and getting back to singing the tunes all love! :)

His music was one of the great things about the eighties that made that decade such an awesome one for music, in my humble opinion.

Thank you for this tremendous interview. I met Huey for the first time as a PA on the Larry Sanders show in 17 years ago, I was a 30 year old Kid, yes 30 old kid, a little slow so to speak on some scales. He was my hero, I saw him several time in concert. He signed my CD of sports, at the time I was tongue tied, when I first met him. I saw a quite stars in my production days, the two others close to him on my wow scale was Elvis Costello and Sugar Ray Leonard. I spoke to Huey briefly, I wanted him to sign my CD of sports. I tried to spit out that I had purchased his two hit albums twice, once as albums and again as CDs, but it didn't come out that way. It came across that I bought 2 cds, and he had several albums beyond that at the time. He was a bit put out. But he was still very gracious, signed my CDs. Generally a nice guy and believe it or not a good actor. As guy who's spent many hours with the famous, he was a pretty good guy. Hope he gets is hear back.

I love Huey Lewis, it's terrible, what's happened to his hearing.

I'm rooting for you, Mr. Lewis. It sucks that he can't keep playing. We need more gents like him in music.

Always liked Huey. Like him even more now. I think I'll go listen to some of his music.

So, so glad he added “Small World, Part Two” to his list of favourites. Definitely one of my “go-to” tunes, and that album is definitely my favourite, although I pretty much love anything they’ve put out. Got to see them back in 2018 in Niagara Falls....had shivers up and down the entire show!

Have seen Huey and the guys twice. Once back in the heyday of 1987 and again a couple of years ago. STILL some of the best there is. You have left your mark on music history. Enjoy it. We fans certainly do.

My favorite band of all time.

The first album (Huey Lewis and the News) is the album I listen to the most.

This whole Interview was so fascinating and enjoyable to listen to, I could listen to Huey talk for hours about his music and life.

Some of My Lies Are True off the first album has always been a favorite of mine.

I've always loved the production of the first album. First heard it in the early eighties before Sports came out. It just had a great raw quality to it. Hope everything stabilizes soon.

love Huey. seen The News several times, and they never disappointed. sad to think i won't get a chance to see them again if Huey's hearing can't be helped. Take care, Huey, and thank you for all the music and memories. One of the greats.

Glad Huey gave us an update regarding his hearing loss, perhaps he could tour again in the future if his hearing stabilizes( his word). Miss going to his concerts, always fun, HL&TN fans know how to have fun, and HL&TN are great live, musically speaking.

FORE! is by far my favorite album; the "unknown songs", such as Forest for the Trees, and I Never Walk Alone; simply classic!

Saw Huey Lewis live in 2014. Always loved him and the bands stuff.

Three Words I Love Huey

I've always liked Huey. I find him very unpretentious, down to earth and happy to just be himself. I think he should have added "Hip To Be Square" to his all-time best list! Thank you, Huey for making the '80s great!

Always loved HL&TN! Heard one of his songs in a department store the other day. Hadn’t heard it in years! Made me so happy. I went back out to my car and played it on my phone (I have the albums on Apple Music). My 13 yr old son says, “Who’s this?! This is some pretty good music!” And he and I bopped our way down the road singing together. Such fun music!

LOVE me some Huey Lewis and the News!!!! Small World is so underrated.

God Bless Ya, Huey!! Will be Praying for restoration with your hearing! So Jazzed I finally got to see them live 6 yrs ago! And they can still Bring It!! Very much looking forward to picking up and hearing those last 3 most recent albums! Can't wait to hear Weather!! 🎸😎👍

As a mobile DJ since 1979, I always loved their cover of “Little Bitty Pretty one” when I did my swing set. The production on that song was so good. Also, the New and their backup vocals to Huey’s voice was so iconic to their sound and something I was always drawn to.

Bluesy Huey Lewis ! Saw the band in '85 at Berkeley. Great show.

Back in 84, my mother moved us out to San Fernando Valley. And I ended up listening to California radio stations, and they played a ton of Huey Lewis and the News!! I Want a new drug way by far my favorite song!! Man!!! I miss California so much and what it was back then in the 80's! 👍🏾💪🏾✌🏾

I love Huey Lewis and the News. What a great band and such a fabulous voice. So sad to hear about his health. I saw him play years ago on new years eve at Disney world. Personally, their best album is the Live at 25. Hard to find. Wish it was released on vinyl. Sensational DVD. Knock out horns, Huey and the band at their best. Finally, Huey, if you read this look into taking vitamin B12. It really can help reduce vertigo. Got to get the new album on vinyl.

I was so lucky to see Huey Lewis & The News on July, 20,1997, at The Barns at Wolf Trap, Washington, DC. I look at him as an older brother but a good example of my generation. Thank you, brothers!

“If This is it”, for some reason, I get stuck in my head early in the morning when I have trouble sleeping. It’s that good.

Huey Lewis and the News were awesome all throughout the 80's. On a side note I wanna new drug for the current times we're in.

FORE! Was one of my favorite records ever.

Not even a mention of PERFECT WORLD. Gotta be one of my favorite Huey Lewis songs.

I've been a fan of HLN since their first album. I first saw them in concert in 1987 in Tucson, Arizona while they were supporting "Fore!"--I paid a whopping $15 for the ticket--and the next time I saw HLN was at Harrah's Cherokee in Cherokee, North Carolina, in 2017. To be honest, they hadn't changed to my ears. Huey's voice still sounded like it did in '87 and I still enjoyed the concert very, very much. It's terrible what's happened to his hearing and I hope that he can overcome his disorder. "Weather" is a great album if you haven't heard it. Much love to HLN for being a huge part of my growing up in the 80s and being part of my music collection today ... and all the great memories.

Such a great band. They really knew how to craft catchy hits. Such a huge part of my childhood soundtrack. Good memories and times.

As a later Gen X guy with country music parents, I was a bit too young to be properly exposed to The News but I was a huge Weird Al fan. I Want A New Duck was one of my favourites of the 80s Weird Al. But I AM familiar with a fair number of News songs. I could imagine having a pint with Lewis would be fantastic. Great video.

Thanks for coming to Halifax so many years ago. I couldn't go to the concert but happy to be there at the gift shop which you visited me with your presence One on one! Stay strong and healthy and keep making the world a better place!

Bad is Bad is one of my all-time favorite Huey Lewis tunes!

Man you wanna hear this guy wail on a harmonica....... Good Stuff man.

I've loved Huey and his music all my musical life, thanks to Back to the Future. His early stuff really rocks and they've branched out just enough to keep it interesting but didn't alienate fans. Hope we hear you sing again soon Huey!
