AceShowbiz - More than ten thousands of people have rallied to stop Kanye West recording a David Bowie covers album. The petition is posted on 38Degrees.org along with headline "STOP KANYE WEST RECORDING COVERS OF DAVID BOWIE'S MUSIC."
Created by Peter Piranha, the petition reads, "Stop Kanye West from being allowed to record covers of David Bowies music. Why is this important? David Bowie was one of the single most important musicians of the 20th and 21st century, it would be a sacrilege to let it be ruined by Kanye West."
At the time of writing, the day-old petition has 10,201 signatures. One of the petitioners writes, "I've been a Bowie fan for 47 years his music is precious to me." Another petitioner adds, "David Bowie was a unique and extremely talented artist, nothing to do with Kanye's music or the way he is exposed in the public."
Kanye was reportedly busy laying down his tribute to the late singer with version of hits including "Rebel Rebel" and "Heroes". A source previously told Daily Star, "Some are straightforward covers with Kanye actually singing. On others he is rapping with his own lyrics over Bowie's music."
Kanye's representative hasn't commented on the report yet.
