Nick Cave recently responded to a fan on his blog, The Red Hand Files, who questioned whether celebrities are overpaid. The fan expressed frustration with the disparity in pay between celebrities and those in service roles that enable their work. Cave acknowledged the fan’s perspective but defended his own approach to accepting payment for his creativity, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity in his work.
Cave highlighted that while he appreciates being paid for what he loves to do, he also engages in non-monetized work like The Red Hand Files for spiritual rewards. He noted that resentment towards celebrities for their pay may stem from feelings of powerlessness. Cave also addressed the fan’s dismissive remarks about other professions, mentioning his wife Susie, a designer, who was sleeping next to him.
Ultimately, Cave expressed gratitude for his privileged position and acknowledged that celebrities may be overpaid. He concluded by encouraging the fan to focus on positive energy rather than bitterness. The response was prompted by the fan’s criticism of celebrity culture, which they feel is a source of frustration in the world.
In addition to the response, Nick Cave’s recent show with The Bad Seeds in Paris was made available for streaming on various platforms. The show was part of their ‘Wild God’ tour in support of their album of the same name. Cave also discussed his views on social media and its impact on society, particularly on younger generations’ outlook on the world.
Looking ahead, Nick Cave is set to embark on a solo tour across Europe later this year, showcasing his talent and artistry to audiences.
