As one half of Gorillaz, Damon Albarn has collaborated with several football teams' worth of famous names down the years. Now, in a new interview on Radio X, he and Jamie Hewlett have been talking about the ones that got away.
Most significant of those was David Bowie whom Albarn “nearly” made a record with in the 1990s. When asked by presenter Dan O’Connell who he would have liked to have worked with pre-Gorillaz, the singer said: “I mean, someone like David Bowie who… I nearly made a record with Ray Davies and David Bowie back in the late 90s. That didn’t happen.”
