As tour continued, tensions grew within the group.Karen : Once we had settled back into tour life, things started to get a bit tense.
Bonnie : There was never a dull moment on that tour, I'll tell ya that.
Eddie : I mean, obviously Daisy and Billy had their thing going on. Nothing new there.
Karen : I think what surprised us the most was when Bonnie went after Nicky.
Graham : We had the chance to get to know Nicky one night on the bus, and uh, [laughs] Bonnie was not impressed.
Bonnie : Nicky Fitzpatrick. An Irish Prince. Do you hear yourselves?
Warren : [Laughs] That Fucker was a con artist.
Karen : Graham probably shouldn't have brought it up.
Graham : It was Daisy that mentioned it to us during rehearsals, I merely asked a few follow up questions as one does when they're intoxicated.
Eddie : Unfortunately for Nicky, Angry Drunk Bonnie had made an appearance that night.
Bonnie : I was not angry, I was curious.
Graham : [Laughs] For starters, she accused Nicky of having a fake name.
Bonnie : Accused is a strong word, I merely suggested that Nicky Fitzpatrick wasn't a real name. Like, seriously, I couldn't think of a single person from Ireland with the name 'Nicky' or the surname 'Fitzpatrick.'
Karen : Then she asked about his status.
Bonnie : Royalty had not been a thing in Ireland since the rebels drove the British monarchy out of there a hundred years ago.
Warren : To be fair, I don't think many of us believed that part.
Eddie : [Laughs] After he'd explained his whole royalty thing, she asked him if he had ever actually been to Ireland.
Bonnie : [Chuckles] Dublin. Prince Nicky Fitzpatrick was from Dublin. You know, con artists could at least try and be a bit more creative. That Fucker had twenty-six counties to choose from.
Graham : Nicky was clearly agitated from all of Bonnie's questions, so she defused the tension by holding her hand out to him and saying something to him in Irish.
Karen : I don't know what Bonnie said, but Nicky replied with a smile and said 'You too.'
Bonnie : I said 'Hello.'
Warren : Come on, man, even I knew that ... after Bonnie told me.
Eddie : That wasn't even the bad part. The following day, Daisy went up to Bonnie during soundcheck and freaked out on her.
Daisy : It wasn't my best moment.
Bonnie : I mean, I get where she was coming from. I did question her husband's legitimacy.
Graham : It got pretty messy after that.
Eddie : Bonnie started talking back.
Warren : Daisy started shoving.
Karen : Warren tried to separate them.
Graham : Then Nicky got involved.
Billy : I walked in to see a cluster of people fighting and yelling onstage.
Graham : Billy was pretty quick to put a stop to it.
Karen : Once everyone had backed off, Daisy approached Bonnie one more time.
Eddie : I thought she was gonna slap her or something.
Bonnie : I was pointed at with an accusing finger and called a two-faced bitch.
Daisy : Like I said, not my best of moments.
Billy : Then Daisy walked out.
Eddie : Bonnie yelled something along the lines of 'Sorry for giving a shit!' after her, before walking in the opposite direction.
Karen : Nicky went after Daisy and Warren went after Bonnie.
Graham : I seriously thought that was the end. That was it, the tour was over.
Eddie : Unfortunately for us, we lasted much longer than that.
Warren : When I caught up to Bonnie, she had a cigarette in her hand and tears streaming down her face.
Bonnie : Warren wrapped his arms around me.
Warren : Bonnie kept saying 'I'm sorry. I always fuck everything up.'
Bonnie : Warren told me that wasn't true, but it was only a matter of time before he'd realise it too.
