Wayne Coyne's Interview
Earlier this year, Coyne, the founder of the band, opened up about the Flaming Lips and said that he does not mind when people describe them as a whimsical group.
"I take that as a great compliment... Whimsical to me, has character to it. Like Charles Dickens or Alice in Wonderland. There's a sense that it is a fantasy, but it's rooted in childlike desire. The best stuff we've done has whimsicalness about it, for sure. The boring stuff, I don't think does," said Coyne.
Coyne also dished on the deaths of several singers in the past couple of years and said that David Bowie's demise was the one that affected the band the most.
The bass guitarist said that they reached out to Bowie in the last five years and invited him to watch their shows. However, the late singer was always not feeling well.
