Pete Waterman has announced that he will never work with Kylie Minogue again. Given that his next venture will be creating some dire racket out of the Sheilas' Wheels insurance ads, I'm sure Kylie is breathing a huge sigh of relief.
Waterman, a man renowned for his modesty, plays down his part in
Kylie's success in an interview with
Digital Spy,
shyly revealing how he created her career from thin air and, when
fickle fashion turned against her, stood rock-firm and waved the flag
for Brave Kylie.
"Kylie was the antichrist for five years of her life, and you know
what, I defended that for five years," Waterman frothed. "People around tend to forget what
it was like back in 87, 88, 89. But I don't forget and Kylie doesn't
forget. It was not fun."
Not fun? You're not fucking joking, Pete. We had to listen to the stuff, remember?
