The Prodigy's Liam Howlett has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to produce music for both David Bowie and Madonna.
Speaking to Mojo, Howlett explained that despite "some great chats" with Bowie, he declined an offer to produce his music.
"If it was Chuck
D asking I would have done it, but they didn’t mean anything to me,” he said. "I remember Bowie coming into the dressing room when we did gigs together in Germany, we had some great chats about drugs and stuff. He was someone I gained a lot of respect for very quickly."
Howlett also revealed that he turned down a production request from Madonna, despite signing to her Maverick label in the US.
"One thing I will say about Madonna is, she took the initiative herself to come and find us," he explained. "I thought that was respect, so we signed to her label in America."
