Travis' Fran Healy Praises 'Sassy' Katy Perry Add to My Fav Bands List

Travis frontman Fran Healy has praised American singer Katy Perry, who recently topped the singles charts with 'I Kissed A Girl'.

The band recently covered Perry's single for a radio broadcast, changing the lyrics so that they spoke of gay man who's having doubts about his sexuality.

“We hadn't felt the need to do a pop song since we covered Britney Spears. But I like Katy Perry's attitude. She's a sassy girl,” Healy told the BBC.

Despite fans' appreciation of their cover, Healy wouldn't confirm whether they planned to record it. “We played it for live and on a radio station so far,” he said.

Travis release their new album, 'Ode to J Smith', next Monday (September 29th).
