Late music legend, Frank Zappa, has contacted boyband Boyzone in a bizarre bid to be Stephen Gateley's replacement.
Zappa, who appeared to the remaining members of the band disguised as a meat feast pizza topping, begged to be allowed to audition as the recently deceased singer's replacement.
Frank insisted on running through a medley of his well known classics. The band tried to explain to him that the logistics of having a dead dude playing with them would be enormous and they explained that if it was that easy they would just get Stephen back.
"It was nice, though. We heard snippets from such classics as; Camarillo Brillo, Concentration Moon and Who Needs the Peace Corps," the band explained. "The ghost of Frank even got out his comb and a piece of paper and blew us away with a rocking rendition of Peaches en Regalia."
Eventually the spirit of the late legend that is The Zappa got the message and disappeared back into the ether, but as he faded into nothingness, he made a promise to give his great mate Captain Beefheart a ring with a view to him joining the line-up.
At least he's still alive. Allegedly.
