“He is an Irish icon and he has my respect.”
Johnny Logan has issued an apology to Dickie Rock following comments made about him in an interview published over the weekend.
Logan said, “What would Dickie Rock know about being a musician?” My life was very different from Dickie’s. Dickie’s idea of an international tour was to have a concert in England. “
He also said that Rock is a “legend in his own head” and that he lives in a fantasy world.
Rock responded, saying, “Give Johnny a hug? I’d give him a box of shit. I’m 82 years old. Even now I’d give him a box.”
But since then the two-time Eurovision-winner from Ireland extended an olive branch, and Logan apologized via Liveline on Monday.
He said: “Last week I did an interview with The Times (Irish Times) in which I was asked to comment, a statement that Dickie had made.
“I told the journalist that it was not her business which was fair, but then I made some comments about Dickie, which I wanted to say jokingly at the time.
“I regret those comments and now I apologize to Dickie. Dickie and I have been friends for many years and I hope there has been no lasting damage to our friendship. He is an Irish icon and he respects me.”

Since then, Rock has also made amends, saying, “Johnny Logan was and still is a gentleman and a great performer. We were all friends in this crazy business and we will keep going.”
We love a happy ending.
