Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten ghosted Loyle Carner over album feature
Loyle Carner has claimed Grian Chatten stopped replying to him after he asked him to feature on his latest LP.
Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten was approached by Loyle Carner to feature on his latest album.
The poetic hip-hop star released the album hopefully ! last week and has revealed that he asked the Starburster rocker via text message if he wanted to add his vocals to one of the songs - but he ghosted him after the request.
Appearing on Chicken Shop Date, he told host Amelia Dimoldenberg: “There were a few songs that I really wanted someone to sing on.
"We were talking for ages and then as soon as I talked about him being on one of my tunes, he just stopped replying.
"It’s kind of thanks to him that I’m singing on [the album].”
Meanwhile, Glastonbury headliner Loyle Carner read a CBeebies Bedtime Story on Monday evening (23.06.25).
The 30-year-old star is due to top the bill on The Other Stage at Worthy Farm on Friday (27.06.25), and as part of a Glasto special edition of the nightly programme on the BBC’s CBeebies channel where a different celebrity reads a children’s picture book just before bedtime, Carner chose I Touched the Sun by Leah Hayes.
He said: “Let’s go! I’ve practised for this every night in my son’s room.
“Reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story is just a magical thing to do. I know this story inside out - it’s my favourite book, and my son’s and my daughter’s. We read it almost every night.”
Carner is also set to play a four-night residency at London’s O2 Academy Brixton in November as part of his UK dates.
