Adele is most likely to write next James Bond theme

Jun 06, 2011
British bookmakers consider Adele to be the most likely artist for next James Bond theme. The singer is installed as 3/1 favorite, followed by Leona Lewis at 5/1 and Beyonce at 8/1. However, some believe that Kings Of Leon may soon replace her as the new leader.

The odds have changed after Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill revealed that the band would like to write a song for the next James Bond movie. Followill claimed that Daniel Craig – who played Agent 007 in last two movies – already asked them about it in the past.

"I've always wanted to work with strings though so maybe yeah, that'll be a good excuse. Daniel Craig has asked me before. I have turned him down 3 times already but maybe", said he.

William Hill, major chain of bookmakers in Britain, gives 10/1 for Kings Of Leon. Joe Crilly, the spokesman, said: "Adele is currently the favourite to do the Bond theme, but noises coming out of the band's camp suggest that the Kings Of Leon are breathing down her neck".

Main theme for the last James Bond movie, Quantum Of Solace, has been recorded by Jack White and Alicia Keys. The list of artists who contributed to the series earlier includes Madonna, Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Garbage, A-Ha and many others.
