Gillespie blew chance to write for Kylie

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie has revealed that drugs cost him the chance to work with Kylie Minogue.

The Aussie singer asked Gillespie to write a song for her in the 90s, but his drug habit had left him incapable of producing a decent track.

"She did ask us to write a song for her once. We met her and she was f***ing lovely," Bobby told Q magazine. "This was when she was a proper pop star, in 1992 or around about then.

"However, we were too f****d up to even write a song for ourselves at that time. She has come to see us at a couple of gigs but I think the moment has now passed."

Primal Scream's ninth album Beautiful Future will be released on July 21 in the UK.
