Quote related to 'Cool Cat' from 'Hot Space'

[David Bowie] did sort of, like, backing vocals on one of my songs, that was on the album, that was not Under Pressure, that's another one, and when it came to be released, I mean, he didn't like what he did, and I was like, “asshole, tells me right at the tail end when the thing's just about to come out.” So anyway, it's just artistic licence, he just didn't like his voice, right when it was about to come out, and I said, “fine.” It's quite easy, all I do is erase his vocal. He didn't do any in-depth vocal at all, it was just a background, just background vocals, he just didn't like it. I think it was unnecessary but, I mean, no, I'm not one of those bitchy queens, no, he's alright, he's OK.
