In anticipation of their concert here in Montreal, Randy Renaud chatted with Platinum Blonde lead singer, Mark Holmes, about why Montreal is his favourite city to play, how it feels to be inducted onto the Canadian Walk of Fame, and what were the real-life incidents that inspired his writing of the hits 'Doesn't Really Matter' and 'Standing in the Dark.'

Platinum Blonde will be playing the Bell Centre on Aug. 16 ahead of Billy Idol. Tickets at evenko.ca.
