Thousand of people have signed a petition to prevent Kanye West from recording a David Bowie tribute album. It was learn earlier
this week that the Yeezus rapper had been getting to work in
the studio to put his own spin on classic hits like Charges, Heroes and
Rebel, Rebel. But not everyone seems to be on board with the idea and now more than 5,000
petitions has been created to get the so far unconfirmed album scrapped.
According to the Daily Star, the 38-year-old star
wants to pay tribute to the legendary performer by recording a mix of
straight cover version, and some with Ye's own influence.
A
source said: "Some are straightforward cover versions with Kanye
actually singing. On others he is rapping with his own lyrics over
Bowie's music."
"David Bowie was one of the single most
important musicians of the 20th and 21st century, it would be a
sacrilege to let it be ruined by Kanye West."
The day-old petition already has almost 5,000 signatures.
