Post your questions for Mike Scott of the Waterboys


The Scottish singer, songwriter and musician, who has remained the only constant member throughout the band’s 40-year career, is taking on your questions

No strangers to an ambitious vision, the Waterboys’ 16th album, Life, Death and Dennis Hopper, tells the story of the Easy Rider director-star and outsider actor – as well as the last 75 years of pop culture. “He was at the big bang of youth culture in Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean; and the beginnings of pop art with the young Andy Warhol. In the 70s and 80s he went on a wild 10-year rip, almost died, came back, got straight and became a five-movies-a-year character actor without losing the sparkle in his eye or the sense of danger or unpredictability that always gathered around him.”
