Strangely, as I was going over this memory making notes for tonight, I shared the story with Peter from the Libertines, who said “That’s weird, you know [David Bowie] wanted to do something with us?” “Say what?” He goes, “Yeah yeah yeah, I told him to fuck off.” I said, “You fucking what?” He goes, “Yeah, he called my phone and said, ‘Hi is that Potty Pete? It’s David’, I said, ‘Fuck off David!’ and hung up, and then later on Kate Moss told me it was David Bowie who called.” So, it seems it wasn’t meant to be.
