Michael Stipe and Andrew Watt Collaborate on 'Rooster' Theme Song After Elton John's Introduction
Singer-songwriter Michael Stipe and Andrew Watt have collaborated on a theme song titled 'Rooster.' The project was initiated after Elton John, a friend of Stipe for over 35 years, made an unusual decision to share Stipe's personal phone number with Watt. Watt subsequently contacted Stipe to propose an idea, leading to their joint effort on the new track.
Singer-songwriter Michael Stipe and Andrew Watt have collaborated to create a theme song titled 'Rooster.' The collaboration's origin involved an introduction facilitated by music icon Elton John.
Elton John, who has maintained a friendship with Stipe for more than 35 years, reportedly deviated from his customary practice of not sharing Stipe's personal contact information, particularly with other musicians. John provided Stipe's phone number to Andrew Watt.
Following this exchange, Watt reached out to Stipe directly, stating he had an idea. This communication ultimately led to their joint work on the 'Rooster' theme song.
According to Variety, this marks a notable collaboration catalyzed by an unexpected connection.
