“Can you
imagine being
at Glastonbury
with all of
the audience
in space
bubbles?”
Were you able to draw any positives from lockdown?
I feel slightly bad talking about it, because for so many people it was horrible. I was scared that the virus might affect my little boy, who had just been born. At first I was glad to be home for a couple of weeks; nobody knew it would be more than a year. It felt amazing. I accomplished a lot of things, like gardening that I’d never do.
Back in January The Flaming Lips played two gigs in Oklahoma with band and its audience encased in a hundred bubbles, each holding up to three audience members.
