Morrissey Central "Regrets." (July 11, 2023)

“I had booked Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin … I had booked the band, and Tony Visconti … and suddenly a message came through to have dinner with Prince that very night at The Clarence in Dublin. I couldn’t go. I felt sick. It was my only chance. I thought I’d have another … but so soon the living are dead. Prince … I am so sorry.”

Nottingham, I'm sorry too.

What year would that have been?
I know there were rumours of Moz and Prince working together in 1992.

It was 2011: https://www.morrissey-solo.com/wiki/Studio_In_Session

 

[BookishBoy]

Prince played Dublin in June 92, March 95, and October 2002. (Of course it needn't necessarily have been tied to a tour date, but seems more likely?)

 

[Famous when dead]

Mid 90's is looking close.
Prince.org around 2005 asserts similar rumours.
Regards,
FWD.

don’t know. I do remember at the time a rumor mention in the NME, and thought it was just that or a joke. Surprised he didn’t put this in Autobiography. Ah, what could have been…

 

[Young And Alive]

Maybe we'll get a cover of 1999 in Leeds?

It's still a song about a time that hasn't happened yet in Leeds.

HOLY SHIT

I thought I was the only one who remembered that. Had written it off 100% as Mandela Effect.

 

[gordyboy9]

was mentioned on here a long time ago,it was down to prince being vegan as well.

 

[MILKISMURDER]

In 2011 they played Dublin on back to back dates and then both were at Hop Farm Festival as the Saturday and Sunday headliners. I attended their HF shows.

 

[DagenhamDan]

I miss Prince, he was amazing, put out so much music, such a talented person.
He played with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood on a version of While my guitar gently weeps for a George Harrison tribute show, on that stage full of stars he showed them all how its done, God bless you Prince.

an insiders perspective on The Purple One …

 

[gashonthenail]

So what's he saying? Did someone big invite him for dinner on Sunday night?

 

[2 shite ales]

The same Prince he called “Ponce?”

 

[SuedeMoz]

I don't know if Prince was a Morrissey fan per se but he said some complimentary things about him. I wonder if Prince knew that Morrissey referred to him as "Ponce" in the 80s.

The idea of 80s era Morrissey calling anyone else a ponce is really quite something.

Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming to be scheming

Ponce ponce ponce
Ponce ponce ponce
