Did wonder if it was who the ‘surprise’ guest is? 🤔

That's a good shout too. Whatever it is, it's great we still have these moments of anticipation and speculation, particularly at the end of an album campaign...

They’ve decided to change their name to Shampooch, with immediate effect.
In all seriousness I think it will be a double a side Single with one being the new cover version that’s been muted.

They're going to reveal that they were Shep Pettibone all along

Pet Shop Boys are no longer a duo. They're now a four-piece folk band: Neil on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, Chris on hammond organ and egg shaker, Janet on drums and Elton on embittered backing vox.

Happy birthday Mr T. I hope you drink lots of champagne and have one genius song idea. And if your birthday announcement is crap, I’ll still love you forever. XXX

Do you mean "mooted"? They said they had covered an obscure blues song. Mentioned during the Piano Room broadcast.
