A spokesman for David Bowie has denied the singer has granted permission for his music to be used in a new musical based on his career.
Reports over the weekend suggested the go-ahead for Bowie tracks to be used on the production ‘Heroes: The Musical‘, a futuristic fantasy about his life, had been given ahead of a planned premiere in London next March.
However, a statement released today denies any deal has been done, and that there are no negotiations on the horizon.
“Neither the David Bowie Organisation, nor its co-publishers EMI Music and Chrysalis, has issued a license for this performance at the O2,” the statement reads. “There are no negotiations pending for a long running musical featuring the music of Mr. Bowie”.
David Bowie has significantly scaled by his workload since suffering a health scare when touring the 2003 album ‘Reality‘ – an album which remains his last studio release.
Back in August, his respected biographer Paul Trynka admitted it would be a “miracle” if Bowie did make a full scale return to music.
