Bitter! David war immer da und doch nicht von dieser Welt; von „Modern Love“ über „Day-in day-out“ bis hin zu „Little Wonder“ von meiner rückwirkende Entdeckung seines famosen Backkatalogs ganz zu schweigen. Danke für Sound & Vision!
Nicht jeder hat seinen Frieden mit ihm gemacht und wird es jetzt bereuen:
Ex-Smiths frontman Morrissey has said that he wants an end to his rivalry with fellow music icon David Bowie.
In a question and answer session on fansite truetoyou.net, Morrissey addressed the truth behind the rivalry calling it simply „ribbing“.
„When I made the (2006) record Ringleader of the Tormentors,“ writes Morrissey, „the producer (Tony Visconti), who is a very close friend of David Bowie, tried to get both Bowie and I together to do our version of You’ve Lost That Lovin‘ Feelin‘, with David doing the deep Bill Medley parts, and me doing the Bobby Hatfield shrieks.“
„I loved this idea, but David wouldn’t budge. I know I’ve criticised David in the past, but it’s all been snotnosed junior high ribbing on my part. I think he knows that.“
