In conversation with his friend and superfan Jimmy Kimmel, Huey Lewis looked back on his high-flying career and his new album
“And if I can get my hearing back, we're going to doLewis conversed with Kimmel with little difficulty throughout the hour-long Q&A, but admitted he was having a rough hearing day. “It fluctuates, but it's bad today I go [on a scale of] one to 10 and I'm a two and a half today,” he revealed. “A six is as good as I've been since my hearing collapsed two years and a month ago.”
Before the panel Lewis also debuted his band’s new video for the song “Her Love Is Killin’ Me,” which also provided a nice through-line to the News’ tongue-in-cheek clips from the MTV days. The video featured a huge assembly of the band’s celebrity fans, including Brandon Flowers, Joe Montana, Brad Paisley, Jimmy Buffett, Trace Adkins, Sean Hayes, Patrick Warburton, Wendie Malick, June Lockhart and Kimmel himself, lip-synching the new song.
“I remember like it was yesterday,” he said. “They put it on and the song, and I remember thinking two things: one was, oh my god, it sounds like somebody else!’ We had produced it ourselves and I'd sung it way too many times, but it just sounded like somebody completely different. And two, it sounded like a hit! I thought it was gonna be a hit.”
