LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy: Bowie convinced us to re-form | Music
LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy has said that David Bowie convinced him to re-form the band after they split up in 2011.
Speaking to Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music, Murphy, who played percussion on Bowie’s final album Blackstar, said: “I spent a good amount of time with David Bowie, and I was talking about getting the band back together. He said, ‘Does it make you uncomfortable?’ I said ‘Yeah’, and he said, ‘Good â€" it should. You should be uncomfortable’ … David was always making himself uncomfortable.â€
Despite an emphatic goodbye involving a documentary film and a show at New York’s Madison Square Garden, LCD Soundsystem have indeed since re-formed, releasing two new songs this year ahead of an album in September.
Murphy also recently said in an interview with Annie Mac on Radio 1 that he had been earmarked by Tony Visconti as a co-producer on Blackstar but turned the role down. “I played a little percussion. I was supposed to do a lot more, but I got overwhelmed … It takes a different kind of person than me to walk into that room and be like, I belong here, I should definitely insert myself in this relationship because they just can’t manage to make a record without me.â€
