LITTLE Mix are set for their most outrageous collab with the rock band featuring Jade Thirlwall’s boyfriend.
Jade’s fella Jed Elliott is bassist with The Struts and the rockers are well up for Jade’s gang helping them in the studio.
Struts singer Luke Spiller
told me: “We would all absolutely love Jade to feature on a Struts song, it would be absolutely fantastic.
“Could you imagine a collaboration of The Struts and Little Mix? It would be preposterous, insane.”
Jade has already guested with the band on a cover of T. Rex’s classic 70s hit Get It On at a show in LA.
Referring to Queen
and David Bowie’s
chart-topping 1981 duet, Luke added: “If we did something together, it might just be our Under Pressure moment.”
The Struts have supported a host of huge bands including The Rolling Stones
and The Who.
Luke, whose band released anthemic new album Young And Dangerous this week, enthused: “The thing all those bands have in common is they work their absolute t**s off. The Stones are well into their seventies and they still want it. That’s naturally inspiring to us.”
Dave Grohl has even called The Struts the best band to ever support Foo Fighters – and he might
produce their next LP. Before then, Luke might release his own range of sunglasses.
He revealed: “Everyone from fans to Aerosmith’s singer Steven Tyler has asked me about the sunglasses I wear.
“It is in development after I have spoken to a few people.”
