Drum and bass group Rudimental get frustrated while on tour as they miss the ordinariness of their lives at home.
The "Feel the Love" musicians have been trekking across the world over the past year and have been feeling homesick due to the constant travel and hotel stays, reported Contactmusic.
Member Piers Agget, 28, explained that what grates in particular is the fact he can't play soccer with his friends and he misses his family when away.
"We have toured the world this year and been living out of suitcases. It takes its toll after a while. You become disconnected from reality," Piers said.
"You never get the chance to wash your own clothes, cook for yourself. Or do simple things. You miss your family. There are all sorts of things people don't see. I miss playing football on a Sunday morning with mates and venting that frustration on a striker."
Bandmate Leon Rolle, 29, added that what while he loves being a music star and going on tour, he particularly misses having a drink with friends in a traditional British pub.
The group, who helped Ed Sheeran write his 2014 hit "Bloodstream", are currently on the European leg of their tour.
