Taylor Hawkins' secret Bond theme

Taylor Hawkins' secret Bond theme

The Struts frontman Luke Spiller wrote and recorded a Bond theme with Taylor Hawkins.

Luke revealed he teamed up with the late Foo Fighters drummer to work on a song for the 2021 spy movie 'No Time To Die' but Billie Eilish's track was chosen over theirs.

He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I’ve always been ob­sessed with a lot of the Bond songs. I had a crack at it, but got beaten by Billie.

"It’s a fantastic song. I called Taylor and we cut the drums in his home studio."

However, Luke isn't giving up and he hopes Bond bosses will get in touch and consider another of his songs in the future.

He said: "Hopefully the people making the next Bond film can listen to my record and appreciate the potential I have to create an incredible Bond song.

"I’ve got another up my sleeve.

"I’m waiting for the call because I know it’s going to happen."

Billie's 'No Time To Die' was co-written with her brother and collaborator, Finneas O'Connell, and features orchestration by Hans Zimmer.

It debuted at the top of the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The song picked up a Grammy Award and also won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
