The Longest Day – An Apology
Hi everybody,
I would like to apologise to all the people who came to the show in Paris for the poor performance and childish behaviour.
Thanks for all your messages of concern and support which I probably don't deserve.
I could fill this page with lists of excuses
such as ‘nothing to eat all day’ or the ‘equipment was shit’ (it
was!)….etc…etc…..But I won’t!
The truth is, I don’t really know what
happened that night. Perhaps I’m just an alcoholic that can’t control my
drinking. I can’t remember too much but I do remember waking up on Sunday
morning. We had just played a blinding sell out show at ‘Mondo Bizzaro’ in
Rennes, where, as always, we were well looked after by our old friends Bruno
and Ralph. Thanks Guys. This included a great party at the bar after the show
with loads of unidentifiable shots. The next day the maid started banging and opening the door about 10:30AM (a late check out would have been nice, but like I said... No excuses!!) We emerged from the Hotel and it was a beautiful summers day (in late October!!). Probably
the last one of the year, in Europe, anyway. We were in a lovely village
square, opposite Rennes Station, surrounded by bars with three hours to kill
before the train. You don't have to be Hercule Poirrot to deduct our next move.
Steve (Dave’s carer) produced a nice bottle of red on the train and the rest is
now history.
So, as I sit here writing this with shaking
hands, a hangover from hell and a huge feeling of guilt. I can only say a huge
thank you to the fans in Decines and Rennes and apologise once again to the
people who came in Paris. If I’m really honest I did have fucking great weekend
in France though!
Pardon et Moi!
Merci Beaucoup
Monsignor Del!
