David Byrne & DJ Fatboy Slim Collaborating on New CD

     MUSIC NEWS - Rocker and former Talking Head, David Byrne, and DJ FATBOY SLIM are collaborating on a new album, inspired by the flamboyant former Philippines first lady IMELDA MARCOS.  Byrne recently revealed the new album will be a "disco musical" about the early life of the 79-year-old, the widow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who died in 1989 and especially of her time in NYC.  Byrne told Interview magazine, "I did research and discovered there was this story not just about her, but about the woman who raised her - their parallel lives, and how they became estranged.  "Imelda spent a lot of time in New York, going to clubs. She converted a floor of her New York townhouse into a kind of a club with a mirror ball and everything."  No word on release date.  Byrne is currently on tour to support his new release with Brian Eno, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.
