Soulwax lyrical with celebs

Belgian combo, Soulwax, are currently halfway through a 13 date UK tour. The two brothers from the band, David and Stephen, have had to take a break from their other jobs as TV presenters on a music show back home.

The programme's huge in the Benelux countries, and the guys told Radio 1 they've had a few memorable moments with some big names: "Michael Stipe walked out on an interview because we asked him what he thought of the singer from the band Morphine, who had just died. We thought he already knew because it had been on the news for two days."

The lads explained that once he'd realised what had happened he was OK: "Afterwards he came to us and said 'I'm sorry, but it really shocked me'."

They've also had the pleasure of meeting the Purple Prince - The Artist: "Right before the interview he winked at someone, and then a girl appeared with a huge can of hairspray. She started spraying him for a whole minute! He just looked at us and said, 'Do you want some?' That was funny," David and Stephen told Radio 1.
