Greeting Grimes

Posted on February 23, 2018 By Priptona No Comments on Greeting Grimes

So far, in the past 12 months of following SM around on tour, I had met every member of the band bar Ged and Cherisse. Cherisse has still eluded me…but at Manchester, I finally got to meet Mr Grimes. And so happy I was about the fact, I lost myself and gave him a hug! He responded in kind and reciprocated said hug, thankfully!

He briefly spoke to the three of us (Gillian, Nicola and I), talking about Australia and telling us of his brother in Brisbane. A lovely man, very warm and very kind. It was an honour to meet you at last, Ged. Thank you ??

When posing for the snap he said “I’ll bend down to be level with you ladies because I’m REALLY tall”. Oh, you are a star!
