Contrary to rumors, David Bowie and Lady Gaga have not teamed up to work on the pop star's upcoming album
. Bowie shot down any and all speculation with a statement on his official website, which
in part reads, "The suggestion that David Bowie is producing and
participating in the production of Lady Gaga's next album is untrue and
a hoax."
Rumors of a Bowie/Gaga collaboration took hold on Thursday (Aug. 12), after a scanned document
appeared on a Gaga Daily message board thread that appeared to list the
titles of several songs recorded for Gaga's new album -- including "You
and I," "Born This Way" and "Hooker on a Church Corner" -- as well as
in-studio collaborators. Bowie is named as a co-producer, guitarist and
vocalist.
"When this tall story first surfaced a few
days ago it was denied as a hoax in an update to the same article, and
we thought that would be the end of it," the statement on Bowie's site
reads. "I guess some folk see what they want to see though."
Fans
hungry for details on Gaga's forthcoming album -- the followup to her
record-breaking debut, "The Fame" -- will have to make do with
promises of greatness from the pop star herself, for now. "The new
album is my absolute greatest work I've ever done, and I'm so excited
about it," Gaga says in the pre-fall issue of i-D magazine. "The
message, the melodies, the direction, the meaning, what it will mean to
my fans and what it will mean to me in my own life -- it's utter
liberation. I'm on the quest to create the anthem for my generation for
the next decade, so that's what I've done."
