  Arctic Monkeys might be one of the biggest bands in the world right now, but that doesn’t mean they’re bigger than 
  Because surely no one is bigger than ?  Alex Turner and Matt Helders from Arctic Monkeys were getting all nostalgic about music and what not, however, when Matt revealed they had once inadvertently kicked Bowie himself off a table in New York before a gig
  Appearing on BBC Radio 2 with Jo Whiley and Simon Mayo, the boys admitted they had a ‘short exchange’ with the legend
  ‘It was a short exchange, but the funny thing that happened then was, our old tour manager, Tim, was er, they had like tables at the top for guests and VIPs guests and I think Bowie was sat there with whoever he came with,’ he said on this evening’s show
  ‘And our tour manager didn’t even realise and he moved him and so my brother and his wife could sit there and watch it and have a better view and he didn’t say anything like “I’m ” he just moved politely and then came to say hello afterwards
’    We can’t think of many a rockstar that would politely move – it’s not very ‘rock star’ is it.  But we love Bowie even more for it
  They didn’t pinpoint the date, however the lads had previously spoken about meeting the star backstage at their Bowery Ballroom gig in 2006, not long after they’d played Saturday Night Live in support of their debut released Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
  Alex Turner also opened up about writing the latest album on the piano, rather than guitar, for their newly released Tranquillity Base Hotel and Casino  Taking a tinkle on the ivories, Turner said it made for a different experience
  ‘…I felt like I’d sort of run out of ideas on the guitar a bit,’ said. ‘I mean there’s loads… I play a lot of guitar on this record but it was just the writing of it was on the piano and I suppose that’s the distinction
 I reached a point where I couldn’t get it going on the old acouie anymore.’  He added: ‘For me a lot of the lyrics come from the sound that I’m hearing and I was generating very different ones than I had before using the keyboard…’
