Scissor Sisters star Jake Shears has called Pink Floyd's David Gilmour "a bastard" and revealed details of a serious fallout between the pair.
The frontman of the pop band is understood to have been invited to sing guest vocals on a live version of "Comfortably Numb" in New York City earlier this year by Gilmour. Scissor Sisters' cover of the seminal 1979 track famously broke the band globally in 2004, prompting Gilmour to ask Shears to join him onstage during his solo tour.
However, the offer was withdrawn at the last moment, leaving Shears devastated. He has now insisted "it was like taking candy away from a kid."
"Earlier this year, David Gilmour told my manager that he wanted me to sing 'Comfortably Numb' with him at Radio City Music Hall for two shows," Shears told Uncut magazine.
"It was like taking candy away from a kid. My mom was getting on a plane to come and see me," he said.
The new Scissor Sisters album, Ta-Dah, is released on September 19.
