David Bowie has confirmed a collaboration with Arcade Fire on their single Reflektor, having provided backing vocals on the long-awaited release.
The single landed on September 9 following a long marketing campaign, with a limited edition 12" accompanied by an interactive music video for the song. The album, of the same name, is expected on October 29.
In a post on his official Facebook page, Bowie's people revealed that the legendary artist provides a small snippet of vocals on the song:
"We can confirm that David Bowie has supplied a brief backing vocal on the James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) produced track (no saxophone though), which is being issued under the alias of The Reflektors."
