Giorgio, 75, would bring a wealth of experience to the project as he is considered one of the main pioneers of synth disco and electronic dance music, while he has also made music with legends such as Donna Summer, Sir Elton John, Blondie and David Bowie.
However, it is the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury who Giorgio credits with being the biggest ”diva” he has ever worked with as he found it uncomfortable critiquing the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ singer.
He said: ”Singers are usually very friendly (but) I had a little bit of a problem with one of the best ever: Freddie Mercury. He was a very intimidating person, one of the best composers, singers, lyricists and divas. To tell Freddie, ‘You know that high note? Do it again.’ That’s not something you do.”
