Lana Del Rey has revealed that her song wasn't chosen as the James Bond theme for 'Spectre'.
The 'Video Games' hitmaker revealed that he wrote the track '24', from his 2015 album 'Honeymoon', for the film starring Daniel Craig, but that Sam Smith's 'Writing's On The Wall' was ultimately chosen.
When asked by the BBC at The Ivor the Ring 2024 in London on Thursday (May 23rd), why she hasn't sung the theme song to a Bond film yet, she replied: “I mean, why hasn't that happened yet?”
Of the songs she contributed, she simply said, “I wrote them for them.”
The “Cinnamon Girl” singer joked that she often “does the Nancy Sinatra thing sometimes and thinks it's the title song.”
Lana received a special international award at the star-studded ceremony.
Responding to the neglect, Rae, who won Amazon Music's Songwriter of the Year award, said of Lana, “She has the perfect energy for that.”
“I think she would be happy to accept that and I think that's what we'll see in the future.”
At a ceremony in London, Bruce Springsteen was awarded an Academy Fellowship, becoming the first American artist to receive the honor.
The 74-year-old boss was introduced by Sir Paul McCartney, who affectionately teased the award-winning star.
“I can't think of a more deserving recipient, except maybe Bob Dylan,” said McCartney, 81.
He added: “Or Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift… the list goes on.”
The former Beatle also joked about Springsteen's reputation as being a “working man.”
“He's known as the American worker, but he admits he's never worked in his life,” he said.
Springsteen is actually the first foreigner to receive an Academy Fellowship, and has previously said he is honored by the award.
The music icon added: “This entire country has welcomed me at every turn, and for that I will always remain deeply grateful.”
