Kylie's great, says Nick Cave

IT'S not often you hear the dark prince of rock, Nick Cave, deliver a glowing endorsement. But one of the most esteemed musicians in Australia has come out for Kylie.

Cave has traded his snarling cave-man charm for adoring appreciation. As the divine Miss M began her X 2008 tour in Paris yesterday, Cave delivered a glowing review when asked his thoughts on the singer, with whom he collaborated on the 1996 hit Where the Wild Roses Grow. "Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music," Cave told Cream magazine. "Before her the world didn't have a f...ing clue about our music nor any interest in it. Kylie has more greatness in her little fingernail than every f...ing Aussie indie band put together." The man has spoken.
