Intervistato da Radio X in merito a The Now Now, l’ultimo album dei Gorillaz in uscita il 29 giugno, Damon Albarn ha ancora una volta dato prova di essere un personaggio piuttosto particolare.

A quanto pare, mentre era a Minneapolis per un concerto, Albarn sarebbe stato invitato in studio da Prince, ma ha declinato l’invito perché non avrebbe potuto fumare:

I was having a drink and a fag. I don’t actually smoke anymore, knocked that one on the head, but if you can’t be who you are… If I’ve invited someone to my studio, they’re my guest, and there aren’t any conditions like that. It’s like, I can have a cigarette outside if I needed it. I’d be fucking excited, right? Why the fuck would I not want to fucking go mad if I’m with Prince? I’d rather not do it and not get pissed off with the whole thing. It’s just one of those ‘could have been’… I’ve got a few of those.
