The Courteeners Humbled at Morrissey Supports
As they prepare to hit the UK for a major tour in support of their second album, ‘Falcon’, the Courteeners’ singer Liam Fray (pictured centre) and drummer Michael Campbell (right) have spoken exclusively to Spinner about their gigs supporting Morrissey in the US last year.
The former Smiths singer is a huge idol of the Courteeners and the experience apparently proved to be a humbling experience for the band known for their confident swagger.
“To have somebody that you hold in such high regard and say nice things about your band is a really nice, humbling feeling,” Fray said.
“And for us to go to America with him is kinda good because America is a notoriously difficult place to get anybody listening to you,” explained the singer.
The band spoke to Spinner as they filmed a live session for AOL UK, which can be seen here.
“Y’know, they love him over there and for him to say, ‘These are good’ and say nice things is a buzz,” he continued.
“But to go on tour with him .. .for us to share his vegetarian food with him and his catering with him, it’s good.”
Drummer Michael Campbell added: “He was a normal gentleman who was really complimentary to us and really humble. And he bought his own beer to the dressing room!”
