David Bowie describes Jagger film collaboration as "piffle"

An announcement this week that David Bowie and Mick Jagger have written a comedy script based on their experiences in the '60s has been dismissed by Bowie as untrue.

David Bowie, the man behind Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and The Thin White Duke, has used his official website today to condemn claims he and Mick Jagger are to produce a new comedy movie about a pair of party animal band-managers in the 1960s.

It had been reported by the Sun on Saturday that Bowie and Jagger had been working on the script for the movie for the last 15 years, but had finally been inspired to get the movie into production after seeing Sir Paul McCartney and George Michael taking part in Comic Relief recently.

But today a statement was posted on Bowie’s website www.davidbowie.com stating that: “David Bowie summed up the notion that he is, or has been, working with Mick Jagger on a film script for an upcoming comedy with this well-chosen word – 'Piffle'.”
