So I guessed he meant Christine and the anecdote was that she cried too, and the guys didn't know that.
it's really hard to understand him but i don't think chris is a big crier. i've honestly never seen her get weepy in any interview or concert etc. i spent far too many hours watching the Behind the Music thing to the point where i have sections memorized lol

This is how i think he said/meant it: so we were talking about getting the band back together, and chris is going 'as long as I don't have to play songbird!' and mick's going 'well you have to!' and I said (said very softly) 'why? I don't wanna cry anymore!' (and he did the same thing with his hands to show tears falling) and she said (again said veerry softly, it's almost just 's' sounds lol) 'Oh, you cry?' ..'yeah' (meaning himself.)

ugh the man is heartbreaking. that's my take on it...
