KANYE WEST BOWIE PETITION IS WORTHLESS … I’M NOT TOUCHING HIS MUSIC

Kanye West loves David Bowie‘s music and his legacy so much … he has NO PLANS to record a cover album, which means angry Bowie fans can settle down.

Outrage spread on the Internet after multiple reports claimed Kanye was recording a tribute — featuring covers of Bowie’s biggest hits — however, a rep for West tells us that’s complete BS.

The rumor, apparently started in a British tab, launched a petition — which already has 5,000 signatures — to shut down the album. Not sure how that would have stopped it anyway, but it’s a moot point.

We’re told Yeezy had a ton of respect for Bowie — he tweeted about his death — but they never had plans to work together.

David Bowie was one of my most important inspirations, so fearless, so creative, he gave us magic for a lifetime.
