Nick Jonas Has 'Amazing' Experience With His Idol Elvis Costello

Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers shared his experiences of fame with rocker Elvis Costello, who is his idol.

The youngest member of Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas, was reportedly left "starstruck" after he recently got the chance to interview his idol Elvis Costello for a U.S. magazine. The 16-year-old Jonas called it as an "amazing" experience.

Nick and Elvis sat down for a chat for Rolling Stone magazine earlier this year. The teen sensation shared his experiences of fame with the Irish musician. But the younger brother of Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas discovered that his own encounters with fans have been very different from his idol's experiences.

"(Fame)'s definitely something to get used to - it's a shock to all of us. At times, it does get a little frustrating, but for the most part we have a good team that helps us keep it all together. As far as fans go: The only difficult thing is when they go in our house," Nick explained. "That's, I mean, it's kind of odd for anybody, I think."

But Elvis had a very different story to tell. "I never had to deal with anything that intense, but we were a proper pop group for a while. Around 1978, every single we released in England was a hit," revealed the rocker. "Recently, somewhere in a drawer, my mother found some old teen magazines with a picture of Debbie Harry from Blondie, a picture of Sting, and then there's a picture of me... It was hard to take seriously when it was happening, because I just thought it was so absurd."
