Madness Explains How They Keep Going 30+ Years Later
Apparently, they can’t stand each other, yet they’re still together. From The Telegraph:
Last year, someone sent Madness frontman Suggs a cutting taken from Smash Hits in the early Eighties, an interview by a young journalist called Neil Tennant. In it, an even younger Suggs made the kind of schoolboy error many of us make as we enter adulthood, the mistake of thinking that we will never get older. “There is no way I will still be jumping about onstage when I’m an old man of 30!” he declared.
Shortly afterwards, Tennant left journalism to concentrate on his band, the Pet Shop Boys. And much, much later – this summer, in fact – a 51-year-old Suggs had cause to remember this encounter. “We’re standing on the back of a truck next to One Direction, waiting to go out for the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. And there’s Neil Tennant, on a bicycle with a traffic cone on his head. And I thought, ‘Wow! We’re all still here!’”
