Iggy Pop and Fatboy Slim to collaborate

Song will be on the DJ's forthcoming new album

Fatboy Slim and Iggy Pop have recorded a collaboration which is set to be included on the forthcoming new album from the DJ.

The new album from Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, will be released next month following a visit from Pop, who stayed at the DJ's house recently to record the collaboration.

Speaking to The London Paper, Cook, explained: "He [Pop] was great to work with – a real sweetie.

"We met in Miami, partying. He then came round the house and had a cup of tea. Iggy offstage is a very gentle and polite man. He stayed with us in Brighton for a few days to record.

"I told Woody [Cook's son], 'This is Iggy, he's from America.' I didn't tell him the stories. Iggy would tell these over a glass of wine after we'd finished in the studio."
