Nick Cave has revealed he turned down the chance to appear on a Morrissey song after the former Smiths frontman asked him to deliver a “an unnecessarily provocative and slightly silly anti-woke screed.”
Morrissey, 66, had been expected to put out a new solo album, Bonfire of Teenagers, last year but it remains unreleased. The singer-songwriter has claimed this is due to record label concerns over the title track, which is about the 2017 terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester that killed 22 people.
