“one way and half the other”
The making of this latest Madness album, was far from plain sailing, as frontman Suggs explains.
According to Suggs, the band almost split up before this album got released, due to differences of opinions over vaccinations and Covid lockdowns, as well as creative issues, which nearly derailed the making of their new album.
“We had polarised opinions about if there should be vaccinations and lockdowns, and it ended up quite serious between us”, the singer said.
“Everything became half one way and half the other, different opinions on who was to blame”, Suggs revealed.
“The great joy of the band is that, when we get together, we become tolerant”, Suggs added. “We all come from very tough backgrounds, and tolerance has got a little lost in society”.
