Did you meet Bill Murray in Bali three decades ago and forget to exchange contact information?

Well, the comedic legend kicks off his Australian tour with Jan Vogler in Perth tonight and he wants to catch up.

Here’s a message from the man himself:

“If you're in Perth, will you put an ad in the paper for me?” Murray asked The Music's Dan Cribb during an interview this week.

“I hope that this fellow that I met in Bali thirty years ago is still hanging around. I'm not very good on names, but we rode around on motorcycles in Bali, up in the mountains, I think it might have been Kintamani, and we ended up in Lake Batur, and had a lot of fun over there.

“He had a Lonely Planet book called South East Asia On A Shoestring, and it changed the way I travel; I became a traveller, as opposed to a tourist. So, I hope he's still there. And I hope he comes and finds us at the show. Tell him not to buy a ticket; I've got a couple of tickets for him.”

Vogler added: “That would be wonderful if you could convey his message. I know you [cover] music, but still, this is about friendship, and music happens through friendship.”
