The singer/bassist is inspired by the story of how his mother and father survived The Holocaust and escaped from Poland to Canada, where Lee - real name Gary Weinrib - was born.

The 55-year-old revealed: "When the Nazis came into the Polish town where my mother lived, they kept the Jews in a ghetto and then marched them to a labour camp.

"My father was from a different village, but was at the same work camp. They were 12 or 13, and then they were both sent to Auschwitz. My father would bribe the guards to give her shoes or food, little signs of affection.
