Bono denies Spice Girls collaboration

Bono has denied that he’s penning a new track for the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits CD and DVD.

Somebody who does fancy collaboration with the ladies is Mark Ronson who’d love to get his fader-fingers on ‘Stop’.

- A limited edition of the above, which also includes a DVD of July 4 1987’s visit to the Paris Hippodrome and the Barry Devlin produced Outside It’s America concert film.
