Rage Against The Machine To Collaborate With Susan Boyle?
Will SuBo perform 'Killing In The Name' at free gig?
It's bound to be the biggest collaboration of the year... And we're not talking about Pete Doherty and Carl Barat on stage as The Libertines again.
No, the BIG news is that Rage Against The Machine are hoping that they will put behind any bad feeling about knocking the X-Factor winner off the Christmas number one spot... by asking Susan Boyle to join them at their free gig.
Rage's Zack de la Rocha told The Sun that he hoped the invite would make peace with X Factor svengali Simon Cowell, who claimed that robbing reality show winner Joe McElderry of his festive number one slot was unfair.
"I don't think anybody has heard anything of that Joe guy since Christmas, but we have nothing against him. The truth is Simon's shows occasionally produce talent.
"We love Susan Boyle, she is hot. To show there are no hard feelings we would like her to perform with us on stage this summer.
"She is a great vocalist and we would love to perform Killing In The Name with her. Everybody knows her in the US and she can add her vocals to anything. It would be an honour for us."
Rage's free show takes place at Finsbury Park in London on June 6. And, contemplating what this momentous event must look like gives us an excuse to run this video again:
