The Chills frontman Martin Phillipps at his home in Dunedin. That came after a "very intensive'' 14-date tour - their first one in the US since 1996, Dunedin-based lead singer Martin Phillipps said. Some of the Americans Phillipps spoke to about the shootings had never heard of Jacinda Ardern but were highly impressed by her. A documentary based on Phillipps' life, The Chills: The Triumph and Tragedy of Martin Phillipps also had its world premiere at the event, receiving rave reviews. Now free of the virus, Phillipps said he was learning about the long-term damage done to his health.
