Simon Le Bon thought Ronson was high

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:25:10 +1000

Simon Le Bon thought Mark Ronson was on drugs when they first discussed working together.

The Duran Duran frontman - who teamed up with the super-producer at the Smirnoff Experience Paris show in France on Wednesday (02.07.08) - says Mark was coming up with so many crazy ideas, he assumed he was high. He told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: 'The first conversation we had, we were in Tokyo and Mark was in Germany.

It was one of those telephone conference hook-ups. 'It seemed like he was on drugs, quite frankly, because of the kind of ideas he was coming up with. We were just like, 'Oh my God, where is he getting these ideas from''

'They were completely off-the-wall. But we were happy because it was so unpredictable. From the first conversation we knew it was going to be a lot of fun.' Before the concert on Wednesday,

Mark admitted he was terrified about performing with the 80s group. He said: "I'm really pretty nervous. "It's pretty surreal. Simon is going to sing 'Stop Me' with Daniel Merriweather and it's bizarre to hear this voice I've known since I was 10-years-old singing our song."
