Tabloid claims Tony Christie writing title song for Casino Royale

It's been a while since the last crazy "Casino Royale" rumour from the British tabloid press, who must employ people specifically to concoct James Bond news bites. Today's comes from the Daily Star...

The paper claims, "The movie moguls behind James Bond have found the perfect candidate to create a brand new theme tune for 007 - veteran British crooner Tony Christie. He is reportedly in discussions with producers regarding music for the upcoming movie."



The 61-year-old rocketed back to fame when his 1970s hit "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo" recently topped the British singles chart for seven weeks to raise funds for British charity Comic Relief.

A "source" told the newspaper, "The producers want a big-name artist to perform a show-stopping song and Tony fits the bill perfectly. (Is This The Way To) Amarillo was number one across Europe so he has the big profile and voice we're after."
