Luke Spiller.

The Struts frontman Luke Spiller has revealed that he recorded a “fantastic”, and as yet unreleased, song for 2021's James Bond thriller No Time To Die, with late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Ultimately, however, those entrusted with securing music for the enduring film franchise elected to go with Billie Eilish's theme instead. And that song won Eilish a Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media in March 2021.

“I had a crack at it, but got beaten by Billie,” Spiller tells The Sun, adding, “I’ve always been ob­sessed with a lot of the Bond songs.”
