Robert and Olivia Rodrigo in studio together

From British Vogue:

That Glastonbury headline slot was her biggest dream come true. “I didn’t think I would get it for [at least] another five years… All of my family and friends came from America to watch,” she says, all smiles. “I’m dying to go as a viewer, because this year I was so fucking nervous for the show I didn’t get to enjoy the festival.”

One of her musical heroes, Robert Smith, joined her to sing two timeless The Cure tracks: “Friday I’m in Love” and “Just Like Heaven”. Just as big a fan of hers, Smith was surprised and flattered to get the call. When he first heard “Drivers License”, “I bought Sour, and then Guts (both on CD!)” he writes to tell me. “Although most of the songs on those two albums are not really ‘aimed at my demographic’(!), they are all so good that it is hard not to fall in love with them.” They’ve stayed friends. “She calls me up quite a bit to talk about clothes and fashion – and we have enjoyed a couple of memorable nights in the studio together… I can’t wait to hear what she does next!”

Shirley Manson on playing Robert's TCT shows

 From NME:

The alt-rock pioneers will be playing as part of a stacked line-up at London’s Royal Albert Hall this month in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust – a cause close to Manson’s heart. Having stepped in as curator for this year in place of The Who’s Roger Daltrey, Smith has hand-picked a week of gigs from the likes of Wolf Alice, Manic Street Preachers, Chvrches, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai and Elbow.

The NME Icon Award alumni revealed that the invite came through via one of Smith’s legendary all caps lock emails, at which point she “just about fucking lost my marbles!”

I’ve loved The Cure for as long as I can remember, since I was about 14-years-old,” she told NME. “To get one of those famous emails from someone I admire so much was gobsmacking, really. He just asked us if we’d be interested in performing in support of Teenage Cancer Trust.

We didn’t really need any introduction and all of us were immediately like, ‘Yes, we are going to do this’. Management were like, ‘Hold on!’ but we said, ‘No, we have to make this happen’. Bless our management for figuring it all out.”
