Roisin Murphy #1

quote:

from her hugely acclaimed new album 'Overpowered'

UPDATE (30/10/07) : Just spoken to Roisin's manager who has confirmed that Roisin will be heading back out on tour this Saturday 3rd November - so gigs from Munich onwards are unaffected. She said she just really wants to get out there again and doesn't want to let anyone down - so may i suggest that EVERYONE going to the next few weeks of gigs make an extra special effort to make Roisin uber-welcome back on stage again.

Some news for you about resceduled dates should be with you over the next few days.

Thanks again everyone. Big love.

An exchange of words with Roisin Murphy
Story filed Wednesday, 07 November 2007

A week ago we speculated that Roisin Murphy could - conceivably - have smashed her pretty face up onstage on purpose in order to create some sort of 'viral' thing on YouTube.

A few days later we heard that Roisin wanted a word with us.

Here is what happened...

Hello!
HIYAA!!!

How are you feeling?
Oh, I’m alright.

Are you at home with something on your face?
Yes. My mum’s come over to look after me which is a bit distressing because she’s cleaning my house in sexy underwear. It got hot so she stripped off. Recently they’ve opened a TK Maxx near our house so she’s gone and bought underwear. So I’ve got that going on in my house.

TX Maxx is very useful for pots, pans and luggage, we find.
Yes. Now I believe you have some questions for me.

Yes. Did you smash your face up on purpose?
No.

Right.
But I probably will die on stage given the amount of accidents I bloody have there. Although if you print that I’ll never get insurance again! I fell in Australia and broke my arm but didn’t realise I’d broken it until I went off stage, and I fell of a promotional beach ball at a festival in Ireland. It was dark. But I saw blood this time so I thought it was best to leave the stage.

Did you realise how serious it was when it happened?
I lay down and continued the gig lying down. I elevated my foot. My mother said that I was always the same – I never fell down stairs, I always fell up them*.

Does it still hurt?
It’s not too bad now, the swelling’s gone down.

Did you hear a crunching noise when it happened?
No. Don’t be so horrible!

We're just gathering the details Roisin. So then you went to hospital...
Yeah, we went to Moscow A&E** which was, er, interesting. It was very quiet. It was Saturday night and there was nobody there. I couldn’t understand it. There was just one person in a room coughing loudly, which sounded like the cough of Hell. Then they sent me to the American hospital and the man there said ‘look, you’re probably better off going home and getting a proper plastic surgeon to stitch up the hole in your eyebrow’. It’s not a good look.

Maybe it would be a good image for the next album campaign?
Oh it’s going to be so camp, isn’t it, when I go back on stage with a big injury? There won’t be a dry eye in the house. Can I just say that I’m absolutely mortified that my fans bought tickets for shows which have been cancelled. It’s the worst thing for an act like me, to have to cancel a show. I’m just devastated.

Your fans are an understanding lot. What’s the next single going to be?
Not sure yet. What do you think?

A bit of 'Movie Star'?
Well, I think we're going for the one which is mostly loved by people...

'Movie Star'!
...which is ‘You Know Me Better’.

Hm... Anyway, get well soon!
Thank you! Bye!


* We don’t know what this phrase means but Keeley in our office says that Roisin's mum is "probably confusing it with that thing about cows". (?)
** This is like casualty but in American but in Moscow
