"Ian McCulloch has admitted that he would love to collaborate with David Bowie. The Echo and the Bunnymen frontman performed last night at a JD Set concert in Glasgow celebrating Bowie, alongside Sharleen Spiteri, Steve Mason, Kate Nash and Ramona. McCulloch told DS: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d love to do one last great David Bowie song. I&amp;#039;d love me and him to do something. I&amp;#039;ve got songs that I&amp;#039;d love him to sing - it was him and Leonard Cohen. &amp;quot;I just think Bowie was so influential and the greatest solo artist of the 20th Century. In any walk of art. It seems like he&amp;#039;s waiting [to release new music]. Maybe his life&amp;#039;s just changed.&amp;quot; Bowie&amp;#039;s last studio album was 2003&amp;#039;s Reality. The singer-songwriter was diagnosed with an acutely blocked artery while on tour the following year and underwent an emergency angioplasty. Of his own band&amp;#039;s decision to tour 1984 album Ocean Rain again, McCulloch said: &amp;quot;It was always in the back of our minds - well in the back of my mind anyway. &amp;quot;The first gigs we did at the Royal Albert Hall, Liverpool [Echo] Arena and New York were probably the favourite shows that I&amp;#039;ve ever done.&amp;quot; He added of the album: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s got everything on it - it&amp;#039;s so unusual - and the sound of it is quite unique. The way it was done it sounds completely different from everything else we did. &amp;quot;From the start to finish, ending with &amp;#039;Ocean Rain&amp;#039;... In the liner notes on our box set, Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips said that was the defining moment of rock and roll for him - hearing the waves.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
