Bowie is calling hoax on "news" that he's collaborating with Gaga for the "Alejandro
" star's forthcoming third album.
"I guess some folk see what they want to see…, and now the [rumor] that David Bowie
has been working with Lady Gaga seems to have taken off," a post on Bowie's official site reads.
The rumor's point of origin apparently was a Gaga fan site's message board. From there, the item, complete with a claim of insider record-label info and a bogus document listing Bowie's involvement, was picked up by the mainstream press, but later denounced by the fan site as a fake.
Apparently vexed the "tall story" hasn't been cut down to size fast enough, Bowie's camp is trying to make one thing clear. Per the legend's site: "[I]n a nutshell, the suggestion that David Bowie
is producing and participating in the production of Lady Gaga's next album is untrue and a hoax."
