Kanye West is reportedly threatening to release a David Bowie covers album following the“Starman” singer’s unexpected death last week.
Update: Over 20,000 people have now signed the petition
This is only a rumour at present, with nothing confirmed by either the rapper or anyone connected with him, but that hasn’t stopped a petition emerging to stop him going all Ziggy Stardust on us.
Blame The Daily Star for sparking the speculation. The tabloid claims that West has been busy laying down his tribute to Bowie with versions of hits such as “Rebel Rebel” and “Heroes”.
“Some are straightforward covers with Kanye actually singing. On others he is rapping with his own lyrics over Bowie’s music,” an unnamed “source” told the paper.
