Nick Cave reveals why he turned down Morrissey collab
Nick Cave revealed he declined an invitation from Morrissey to sing on a song featuring "an unnecessarily provocative and slightly silly anti-woke screed."
Cave praised Morrissey as "probably the best lyricist of his generation" despite turning down the collaboration.
Morrissey 's unreleased album, 'Bonfire of Teenagers,' faces record label concerns over its title track about the 2017 Manchester terror attack.
Cave explained that he avoids incorporating politics into his music, finding it diminishes his artistic goals.
Morrissey claimed that every major label in London has refused to release his album, despite admitting that it is a masterpiece.
