The Last Shadow Puppets Alex Turner and Miles Kane have spoken out to pay tribute to the late, great, David Bowie

Today sees the announcement of The Last Shadow Puppets' second album, their first since 2008's The Age Age Of Understatement, with Everything You've Come To Expect dropping in April. 

Now, one half of the Puppets and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has spoken out to honour the passing of The Thin White Duke. 

"He's sort of in the DNA of every record, to some extent," Turner told NME. "He’s been built-in for a long time."

Bandmate Kane added: "I had a blue day on the day he died. I watched the 'Lazarus' video and found it quite hard to watch. I definitely had a cloud over me." 

It has since been revealed that the 'Lazarus' video and its imagery was part of Bowie's farewell message with final album Blackstar being his 'parting gift' to the world

Meanwhile, over 10,000 people got involved to sign a petition preventing Kanye West from recording a David Bowie tribute album of covers - before it emerged that he had no intention of doing so
