The guitarist quickly moved up through the ranks in the youth organisation, and insists the experience honed his ability to guide others.

He tells British magazine Esquire, "I got to be patrol leader within six weeks - I just shot to the top. That was the first time I realised I might have that (leadership) possibility. I'm like, 'Hey, I'm just going to duck and dive.'

"Once I had a bunch of guys together, it doesn't matter if it was the Scouts or a band, I could see my way clear to pull all their various talents together."
