Arcade Fire fans were given an early treat when the band's new single, 'Reflektor', leaked online - but the band's label were forced to react fast and remove links to the track, which is believed to feature David Bowie on guest vocals.
Reflektor is due to have its official premiere tonight at 9pm, but appeared online over the weekend. The Sun newspaper reported that Bowie had joined the Canadian band and producer James Murphy in the studio to record the track, but Bowie's contribution to 'Reflektor' has not been confirmed by the band or their record label.
