Coming Up
11 January 2025
Scottish pop-rockers THE WATERBOYS led by maestro Mike Scott just
announced the birth of their 16th album. A sort of concept one glorifying
the late notorious actor Dennis Hopper. It’s named LIFE, DEATH AND DENNIS
HOPPER and features guests Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Fiona Apple and
Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes. Release date: 4 April.
Scott: “It’s the story of Dennis Hopper’s life
in songs, and the story of his and our times.”
The first single HOPPER’S ON TOP is a frolicsome and fun showtime
tune with a honky-tonk piano catchiness and a frisky Scott chorus.
Along with it comes a comical video clip.
