Bobby Gillespie - frontman of Scottish alt-rockers Primal Scream - has commented on the recent death of Tory PM Margaret Thatcher, stating that she ‘died with a smile on her face’.
Speaking ahead of the release of their tenth studio album ‘More Light’, out May 13th, the singer became the latest in a long line of musicians that have commented on Thatcher’s passing - and he reckons she died smiling.
“She died with a smile on her face because the policies and the philosophies that she brought to this country and put into motion have been carried through by successive governments: John Major, Tony Blair and New Labour and now the coalition. They have all followed the path that she set in motion.”
He went on to talk about the new Primal Scream record - and claimed it was ‘great’.
“I think we've made a great record and I can't explain it. I can't sit here and pretend that I know how we did it. But you've always got something to prove. I think the thing is, is that we've got something to say, musically.”
Keep your eyes peeled for the new record in the coming weeks, and stick with us to see if Primal Scream announce a UK tour in support of it this year. Would you like to see Primal Scream hitting the road? Leave us a comment in the box below.
