DAVIES FEUD CONTINUES AFTER DAVE SNUBS REUNION
THE KINKS star RAY DAVIES is furious with his estranged brother and former bandmate DAVE after the star refused to reunite for a memorial in honour of their former bassist, PETE QUAIFE.
The feuding siblings haven’t worked together since The Kinks split in 1996 and frontman Ray admits they are barely on speaking terms.
And he claims the guitarist even snubbed his offer to reform for a tribute concert for Quaife, who died in June (10).
Ray tells Uncut magazine, "(I) don’t talk to him (Dave). We email each other occasionally. I’m going to do a memorial event for Pete somewhere in Muswell Hill (north London) and I’d like to involve Dave but he won’t do it.
"Dave’s a very proud man. I don’t know what his problem is apart from pride. But that’s so trivial when someone has died. If fiction is anything to go by even the mafia get together and make up when someone dies. If only for the funeral."
