Nick Cave will be the toast of the ARIAs when he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame this Sunday, but it’s an honour he’d rather do without.
“I’m actually dreading it to be completely honest because I have to go to the ARIA Awards,” Cave said.
“That’s something I’ve been avoiding for 25 years because I think it’s so fucking tedious.”
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia’s Prince of Darkness is actually planning to escape after his induction and get a kebab!
So we won’t expect him at the after-party then? I seriously doubt it. When The Herald asked the Aussie ex-pat whether he was keen to catch up with his local contemporaries he sarcastically replied “Yes, I’m desperately excited, I’m extremely excited to hang out with Powderfinger.”
Ouch! If it’s going to be that much of a drudge Nick, it’s not too late to back out!
