Simon Cowell says he wants David Bowie to guest on the next series of The X Factor.

Having already snared Sir Paul McCartney last weekend, the pop mogul told the NME that he has turned his attention to another music icon.

He said: "I'm thinking we should do something for David Bowie. I think that would be good just because he's a great songwriter."

Asked about the prospect of getting Eminem and Dr Dre to appear on the show, Cowell added: "I'd love to have them on as guest judges on a theme which would make them comfortable.

"I've extended the invitation to Eminem already. What did he say? I don't know yet."

Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello says he bears Simon Cowell no ill will.

  • I really doubt that David Bowie would even consider appearing on The X Factor.

  • I don't know where, it was years ago, but i recall him referring to these shows as the "cruise ship element" of the music industry.

  • Does Simon Cowell just think that he can have exactly what he wants all of the time? I've also read that he expressed disappointment over the fact that Leonard Cohen never acknowledged the X Factor Hallelujah cover version that was released last year. As if Leonard Cohen owes anything to Simon Cowell.
