And Finally

Mick Hucknall apologises for having too much sex

By | Published on Friday 3 December 2010

Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall has issued an apology to all the women he had sex with between 1985 and 1987. He reckons there are 1000 of them, so he’s not going to go round and apologise individually. For one thing, he might end up having sex with some of them again, and that would render the whole exercise pointless.

Speaking to The Guardian, Hucknall said: “A red-headed man is not generally considered to be a sexual icon. When I had the fame, it went crazy. Between 1985 [and] 1987, I would sleep with about three women a day, every day. I never said no. This was what I wanted from being a pop star. I was living the dream and my only regret is that I hurt some really good girls”.

He continued: “I regret the philandering. In fact, can I issue a public apology through the Guardian? They know who they are, and I’m truly sorry”.

It wasn’t his fault, though. It was his mum’s: “I wanted love from every single woman on the planet because I didn’t have my mother’s love. It was an addiction that took me to my darker period from 1996 to 2001, when I really came close to the gutter – [by then] I was more into drinking than seducing”.

As previously reported, as well as retiring from being a big sex man, Mick Hucknall is also planning to retire Simply Red and live a more simple life. Though we first reported that two years ago and he’s still doing the rounds, so he’d better hurry up.
