Nick Cave Turned Down Morrissey’s Request to Perform ‘Anti-Woke Screed’ on New Track

  • Nick Cave revealed in 2024 that Morrissey approached him via email to perform vocals on a new song but he declined.
  • Morrissey sent Cave a track beginning with a lengthy Greek bouzouki intro and asked him to deliver an anti-woke spoken-word part.
  • Cave described the song as lovely but said the provocative anti-woke screed was not his style and he prefers to keep politics out of his music.
  • Cave explained that he prefers to avoid mixing political or cultural themes with his music, and therefore declined Morrissey's request in a respectful manner.
  • The refusal highlights Cave's stance on separating art from an artist's politics while recognizing Morrissey's songwriting influence amid ongoing tours by both artists.
