EPA/MAGALI GIRARDINThe 'You're Beautiful' singer - who has been romantically linked to Paris Hilton, and split from supermodel Petra Nemcova last year - admits he can't live without regular bedroom sessions. He said: "Sex is as important to me as it is to the next man, and, you know, it's pretty important to him."James also revealed he enjoys drinking alcohol and cites after-show parties as one of the best perks of his jobHe added: "After shows, we like to drink. At four in the morning I'll have anything that's going. After every show we have a party. 85 concerts every year means 85 after parties in 85 different countries!"Speaking about how he copes with negative press, James insists he has never visited a counsellor because every interview he takes part in is "like serious therapy", but admits he sometimes finds it difficult. He said: "Sometimes, reading my own media, the negativity can upset me, but I just deal with things on a positive basis. I have 20,000 people singing my words back to me on a nightly basis - they share my hopes and fears, and they relate to my own life experiences. I am happy."
