Chancellor, director, before I start, there is a striking similarity from what has just been said to what is written here.
So I will plough on anyway.
I am more than grateful to you and to all at Wimbledon Arts School for this truly unexpected honour.
I hear that Wimbledon has been described as the ‘wild child’ for Arts Schools... [cheering]
so perhaps we have more in common than I thought.
But I am here not because of my success as a child prodigy, but because of my failure at an early age.

I did make my first guitar, and received two shocks – one when I found I hadn’t earthed it properly,
and the second when my father smashed it up and he threw it out of the window, telling me that I needed to get a proper job.
Nice hey, nice.
He wanted me to be an architect, but I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life drawing houses.
Little did I know that I would end up drawing a bigger type of house years later [Laughs]
[Crowd laughing]
Being an arrogant kid - I don’t know who
wrote this by the way [crowd laughing]
I thought I had of bit of talent and I wanted to follow
my dream so I built another guitar...
and did a very enjoyable stint at Wimbledon and the
rest as they say is... whatever it is…
a bunch of noise, I suppose.
You have chosen to study hard in the hope that this will help you to secure a career and financial security.

English: 
I admire all your hard work and efforts, which have brought you to your much-deserved graduation today.
I was never such a success at school.
My main memory of Wimbledon was the amazing Pineapple crumble they used to serve in the canteen [crowd laughing.]
I’m sure they put some extra special ingredient in the custard, it was renowned [crowd laughing]
It’s true, it was delicious [crowd laughing].
Students would come back who had left just to get the second helpings.
My simple advice to you just if you dream
of something you would really like to do,
then I suggest you follow it.
It is not always about the money, in my case it certainly wasn’t.
No matter what others might say, it might
be as elusive as a rainbow
but remember, in difficult times, when it can be tough to find a job,
stick with the dream and go with your passion, even if it is not so rewarding financially.

A talent to do something you love is far more satisfying for the soul.
I wish you all the luck and success in your future endeavours,
and don’t be put off by any setbacks, as
they will only make you stronger.
[Crowd cheering]
Whilst I admire you all, if I had got my head down and worked hard at Wimbledon
I would never have been inducted into the rock’n’roll
Hall of Fame, as you were saying twice. Twice [crowd laughing].
They weren’t sure the first time [laughs], But I won eight Grammy’s for sticking with my dream.
Here is a bit of what I got up to.
