Kylie Minogue asked Primal Scream to write a song for her, but the band were taking too many drugs to be able to.
Singer Bobby Gillespie explained that Minogue asked the band to compose a track for her in the early 1990s, and even came to see them perform live on a number of occasions.
Speaking to Q, Gillespie said: "She did ask us to write a song for her once, we met her and she was fucking lovely. This was when she was a proper pop star, in 1992 or around about then.
"However, we were too fucked up to even write a song for ourselves at that time."
The singer also said that Minogue was repeatedly offered drugs backstage at one of their shows, but declined.
He explained: "People were offering her stuff and she said, 'Thanks, but no thanks'. She was lovely."
