U2: Nancy Sinatra cover is legit

U2 have rubbished press reports that they're suing Nancy Sinatra over her use of their song, 'Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad'.

"There's no truth whatsoever in the story," Principle Management insist. "U2 had hoped that Frank Sinatra would one day cover the song which they released as a B-side in December 1997. The track has now been covered by Nancy Sinatra with U2's full knowledge and will appear on her forthcoming album. Any press quotes attributed to U2's manager Paul McGuinness on this matter are untrue."

Also supplying songs for Nancy's studio comeback are Lee Hazelwood and Morrissey who she describes as, "The sweetest guy. He wrote a beautiful song that's just heartbreaking. He's so self-depreciating that I wanted to shake him."

Despite the high-profile nature of the project, Sinatra rues that, "We don't have a label. We've been shopping it around, but so far nobody's interested. But I'm not at all surprised. I don't know if it's an age thing, or if people just forget Lee and me."
