North America can stream it from June 1.While on the tour, Cave paid tribute to his late partner and bandmate Anita Lane. Speaking while on stage in Berlin, he described her as a “deeply inspiring character” and “a bright flame that all of us dark drug addicted characters would circle around.”He also spoke out about the complimentary tweet from Bob Dylan, who attended one of the shows, and shared a moving response to a fan who told him that he left a show early after feeling “too emotional”.
