Andy was always lovely to me. It was an honour to know him. Can’t even be matter of fact about this. It’s Andy Rourke man. F*ck cancer. Again and again and again for taking another brilliantly talented human. The genius, influence & legacy of Andy will reign on. #RIPAndyRourke

I was behind Harry Styles at the Electric Ballroom last night watching Fontaines DC at their album launch party. Respectfully no pics allowed (security v tight ☑️ ). He’s such a nice person, a pro at meeting people, very warm. 10/10. Here’s us in 2012. Fontaines were fab ⚡️

My daughter is 14. Today she strikes from school for climate change. When I was 14 I was playing tapes in my room. As much as I am proud of her she shouldn’t have to be doing this. Shame on you, Westminster, you FAIL young people. @theresa_may #SchoolStrike4Climate #schoolstrike

Gillian would have been 50 today. She died in 2018. I wanted to do a wee tweet about her because often I see people on Twitter feeling ‘ancient’ and ‘wrinkled’. People like Gillian would love that feeling. Be happy with your age, be happy with yourself, be happy you’re here. X

What a gig tonight. Better crowd than last night. Incredible unique voice. Really, just, whatever the whole lot of everything, go see him, before you can’t. Years from now they’ll be writing about Morrissey. He’ll be studied in schools and unis. Professors will obsess.

Wee old man on radio this morning in his 70s. Lives alone. Disabled. His energy bill gone from £79 to £240. He said price of food is too high and he has no tv because he can’t aford the licence. He is lonely, cold and going into debt. I can’t stop thinking about him.

Five years since I lost my best friend. When I think about the time passing it’s like a punch in the gut. She’s in my heart and head but she should be here for real. Cancer. From nowhere. 6 months. Her babies. Their mummy. It’s just not fair. Love you Gillian.
