Tom Dunne: Oh Damon, so you didn't even drive your own car?
It wasn't just Damon Albarn's comments on Taylor Swift that piqued Tom Dunne's interest. Picture: Yui Mok/PA Wire
Life observation: You’d be surprised how many singers can’t drive. I could name some Irish ones but they’d seek me out. “No need for people to know that, Tom,” they’d say defensively. Police arrests, dodgy hairstyles, still dressing as a teen in the queue for ‘superannuation jab’, all fine, but don’t mention the driving thing.
I suspect deep down this does not reflect well on vocalists. I imagine even the most cursory interaction with any kind of development expert would see a red flag here. “I see you don’t drive, Mr Singer?” they’d say. “No,” the singer would laugh, “never really got around to it.” Damon Albarn, of Blur, is a former resident of said club.
