Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Gorillaz star Murdoc Niccals turned down a collaboration with Katy Perry because of her fiance Russell Brand.
The singer admitted that Perry, 25, wanted to be part of their new album, Plastic Beach, but he couldn’t put up with the star’s fiance, Brand, 35.
Band member Murdoc was asked if anyone had turned them down and he told BBC 6Music: “Katy Perry – she’s been after a guest spot for ages and I tried to turn her down.
“No, I couldn’t work with the woman while she’s got Russell Brand all over her.”
The US star also said that he would never put anyone on the record unless he was a fan of them.
He said: “I wouldn’t invite anybody that I didn’t admire. There’s lots of different methods that you can get this sort of talent on this sort of record.
“One way is you can phone them up and ask them. That’s one way.”
