Goldfrapp rumours a hoax says composer David Arnold, Casino Royale artist will be revealed soon

Casino Royale - 29-06-06
James Bond composer David Arnold has confirmed to BBC 6 Music that the recent rumours that Goldfrapp would be writing the theme song to Casino Royale are false.

Tabloids 'confirmed' the Goldfrapp rumours yesterday, using the usual anonymous 'sources'.

Arnold told the station, "The Goldfrapp thing came about I believe as a Bond fan made up a fan art poster and put it on the net. He listed on the credits music by Goldfrapp as that was a band he would like to see doing it, and a French website decided that it was real so published a story.The internet is really quite amazing."

He confirmed that he has already started work on the song with the official artist, and that their identity would be revealed soon

Despite the statement from Arnold, singer Alison Goldfrapp was reported as confirming on stage at a London gig last Saturday that she was writing the song. Their record label Mute have today denied the duo's links with the film. Good PR either way.
