David just did a backing track. I don't think anyone thought any more about it, except that it was a nice ornamentation. We just sent him a courtesy note telling him that we had used it and he said, “I want it taken off, because I'm not satisfied with it.” Unfortunately he didn't tell us until about a day before the album was supposed to be released, so it really set us back. It delayed the album's release.
[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.
