David Bowie reading Coldplay for filth even as he was dying

[Jonna Lee 384]

In a new interview with NME, Coldplay's Will Champion said the late David Bowie once turned down their request for a collaboration. The band had written a song with a multi-part harmony, and envisioned Bowie as one of the voices. When Chris Martin wrote Bowie a letter asking him to participate, the response was definitive: "It's not a very good song, is it?"

"He was very discerning," Champion added. "He wouldn't just put his name to anything. I'll give him credit for that."

Watch NME's video of Champion's comments, which came as a larger reflection on Bowie's music, here.

Well... with all due respect, I have a feeling Bowie was a little picky whenever it came to newer artists.
