Oakenfold: 'Madonna is truly lovely'

Paul Oakenfold has described Madonna as "truly lovely" after their recent collaboration.

The British DJ admitted that he had felt privileged to work with the star on material for her upcoming greatest hits collection.

"We've been in New York working on the tunes. She's a truly lovely lady, but she's the boss so everyone will just have to wait for the new stuff," he told the Daily Star.

The 45-year-old, who will support Madonna on the second leg of her 'Sticky And Sweet' tour, admitted that he is putting all his effort into preparing his set.

"Planning my set for a Madonna show is tough because she covers the whole spectrum. It's a white, black, gay, straight crowd, aged between 15 and 60," he said.

"It's no good making it too underground. Despite the big venues it'll still be clubby and I'll get the crowd going. And it doesn't take much to get Madonna in the mood."

Madonna is expected to release her new greatest hits collection in September. The second leg of her tour kicks off in London in July.
