DAME Shirley Bassey has revealed Michael Jackson was planning to cover her James Bond theme Goldfinger at his ill-fated O2 residency.
The King Of Pop and Dame Shirley had met each other several times over the years and were on pet-name terms with each other, and Michael had previously told the megastar diva about his love for the most famous of her three James Bond themes.
“He loved Goldfinger and had said he wanted to do Goldfinger in his next show,” the starlet from Cardiff’s Tiger Bay told Wales On Sunday.
“He used to call me Lady Goldfinger – he wouldn’t call me Shirley – and I just called him Michael. I actually had tickets for the first date of his concerts in London and I would have sent him a note beforehand to say I would be there and ask if I could come backstage to meet up with him later.”
