Nick Cave Issues apology to Kylie Minogue and Avril Lavigne


Nick Cave's latest book 'The Death Of Bunny Munro' features a protagonist so obsessed with Kylie Minogue and Avril Lavigne, that Cave has issued an apology to both artists.

"I would like to publicly apologise to both of them, especially Avril Lavigne," he said. "Because the writing about her is darker and more invasive I guess. I know Kylie and at least, I hope, she will take it in the spirit it was written. At the time that the book was set, which was about eight years ago, or seven years ago, Kylie Minogue and her hot pants were all the tabloids wrote about in this country."

The book revolves around the titular Bunny Munro, a door-to-door lotion salesman who spends his days seducing women, "serving both their sexual and moisturizing needs."After his wife commits suicide (a fact for which Bunny feels partly responsible), he hits the road with his son, Bunny Jr.; meanwhile, a man in red face paint and plastic devil horns accosts women in Northern England before a murderous impulse sends him southward.

Shock Records recently released the 7CD audio book of 'The Death Of Bunny Munro', with Nick Cave reading the book. The package also includes a DVD of Nick Cave reading excerpts from the book, underpinned by a soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (Bad Seeds, Dirty Three).

Could you get better PR at the right time?
