Music fans who have an NME magazine subscription can read an interview with Tony Visconti, in which he refutes claims by the Kaiser Chiefs that they rejected lyrics penned by David Bowie.
Producer Visconti told the publication the idea the band had chosen not to use the lyrics for their latest album, The Future is Medieval, was "absurd".
"I have never asked David Bowie to write lyrics for the Kaiser Chiefs. I was hired for the production job because of Nick's [the band's drummer's] obsession with Bowie and T. Rex, and I freely shared some of my production secrets with them, but that did not include getting Bowie to write lyrics for them. That is absurd," he told NME magazine.
Kaiser Chiefs have released their new album with a rather novel twist - fans can make their own version of the offering.
There are 20 songs on offer and people can select ten from the list, create their own album cover then download it for £7.50.
