Primal Scream pay tribute to Lee Hazlewood
Bobby Gillespie tell NME.COM he was an 'outsider hero'
Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie has paid tribute to songwriter Lee Hazlewood, whose death was announced this morning (August 6).
Hazlewood, who died after a battle with cancer, is best known for his collaborations with Nancy Sinatra, such as ’These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ and ’Some Velvet Morning’ - the latter of which Primal Scream covered in 2002, with Kate Moss supplying guest vocals.
Paying tribute to the legend, Gillespie told NME.COM he would miss Hazlewood’s creativity.
“He was a motherfucker of a songwriter and a great producer too,” declared the Primal Scream frontman. “A one of a kind/last of a kind outsider hero.”
