\u201c\u2018Techno Fan\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n
CORRECT. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019d had heart surgery and that post was his first calling to the world that he\u2019d gotten better and over it, and it culminated in us supporting The Rolling Stones<\/a> at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey that year, which is one of the biggest shows we\u2019ve ever done. Mick invited us backstage to hang out with him, and Keith Richards<\/a> stroked my daughter\u2019s hair, like he was blessing her! It was a very cool day.\u201d<\/p>\n From the Stones to The Beatles<\/a>, Paul McCartney<\/a> claimed in 2008 that he wanted to produce The Wombats.<\/a> Did you ever chase it up?<\/p>\n \u201cThere was an email that was sent going, \u2018OK, let\u2019s put this into practice and figure it out\u2019, but he\u2019s a very busy guy. He was toying with the idea of doing some production, but at some point, thought otherwise. He\u2019s giving us an award soon from our old university [the McCartney-founded Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts], and he\u2019s always been very supportive of us.\u201d<\/p>\n Who\u2019s been the most unexpected fan of The Wombats? <\/p>\n \u201cThe oddest one is Addison Rae.<\/a> It was completely her doing that \u2018Greek Tragedy\u2019 kicked off again. She posted a TikTok dance of her miming to its opening verse and chorus. I\u2019d never heard of her \u2013 nor had I heard the remix that she\u2019d used, so that was the weirdest celebrity moment considering I didn\u2019t even realise she was a celebrity, nor what TikTok was capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n Were you tempted to ask Mick Jagger to don a furry Wombats mascot costume during your set? <\/p>\n \u201cNo, I don\u2019t think Mick Jagger would get into one of those \u2013 you can\u2019t see anything and they\u2019re hazardous! I\u2019ve had friends who\u2019ve fallen off the stage in them. For the next album, I had the idea of building something huge like a Giganticbat. Maybe we can get Mick Jagger in there operating it!\u201d<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/nx5JFB2ZuJ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mick Jagger (@MickJagger) May 15, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n
