Arctic Monkeys Turn Down Huge Offer To Perform at Hollywood Party

The Arctic Monkeys, currently living in the states while recording their new album, have allegedly turned down a six-figure offer to play at a Hollywood star’s garden party.

Currently living in sunny California, the Monkeys must be rolling in dough – they are staying at a massive £3million mansion and can apparently turn down payments of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The Hollywood celebrity that offered the band the staggering fee is unknown, but according to reports the Monkey’s replied to the offer with only the coolest of retorts – ‘we’re not performing monkeys’.

A source close to the Monkey’s in the US said “There was a suggestion that the neighbours might not be pleased about a band moving in. But most of the locals are bang-up for a good time. They're young, rich, party-loving and keen to make friends with the lads.”

“One even offered six figures for the lads to play at their garden party but the group refused. The line, 'We're not performing monkeys' was said to have been used.”

“While they were flattered with the offer to perform, it would mean ripping all their gear out of the studio. They decided against the idea, preferring a peaceful time at home.”
