@NME: Where has Miles Montgomery gone and why don't we miss him? nme.com/news/miles-mont...

Miles Montgomery might be in his Reputation era. It's not going well.
He made music, he was good at it, he made money from it. He wrote about what he knew and who he knew, and too little too late, realised what a mistake that had been. He'd laid himself utterly bare and now the vultures were circling. He was famous in a way he didn't really comprehend, in a way he didn't think anybody on the outside could ever comprehend. People loved him, people hated him, people wanted to marry him, people wanted to kill him. They played his songs at weddings; they played his songs at funerals.
He was inescapable.

Miles Montgomery is the most famous rockstar in the world. He has a big reputation. He also might be about to lose it all. When Alexander approaches him in a bar and asks him for something, a favour, something so small and yet so intimate, Miles can't turn him down. It's just one night. He'll never see Alexander again. And yet he wants to. There's a connection there, the first real thing he's felt in ages.
