Nick Cave reveals why he turned down Morrissey collab

Independent16-06-2025
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.

Once a defining footwear choice of the early 2000s, the ballet flat has re-emerged in recent years as a staple - and this time, it's more versatile and coveted than ever. One person who has been ahead of the curve is the Princess of Wales ' sister, Pippa Middleton. Known for her effortlessly chic wardrobe, Pippa has been a loyal fan of ballet flats for years - long before their current revival. From sleek monochrome designs and classic neutrals to bold pops of red, she has consistently proven these flats are both timeless and endlessly wearable. This season, the high street is brimming with ballet flats for every taste - whether you're after a minimalist style, something floral and feminine or full-on glamour with embellishments. At the top of my wish list are the Amber flats from LK Bennett. With a sleek silhouette and elaborate strap, they're the perfect blend of sophistication and sparkle. The Mary Janes from Tabitha Simmons' collection for Next are also a standout thanks to their scalloped edging and metallic gold finish - ideal for day-to-night dressing. For those prioritising comfort without compromising on style, Vivaia delivers with a red lace-up design that is made to carry you through the day in ease. Ever-iconic Pretty Ballerinas are offering chic mint green and white woven leather shoes, which are light, airy and ideal for warmer weather. And if you're looking to make a statement, Penelope Chilvers and Schuh are embracing bold animal prints, with leopard and zebra designs leading the charge. For a feminine finish, Aldo's Floralina Ballerinas in a pretty lilac tone will add just the right touch of charm. Take a look below to see these and more of my favourite ballet flats this season - there is something for everyone.
