Bowie: Moby should have been a counsellor

David Bowie says Moby shouldn't be in the music industry but should be a counsellor.

They are touring the US together this summer.

Bowie said Moby "is an extraordinary guy. I really like him. He's very comfortable to be with."

The veteran star is curating this year's Meltdown festival on London's South Bank.

He said his main aim was to sell tickets and to create the most popular season ever.

"I'd put Shirley Bassey on if I thought it would drag in a few punters," he joked to Time Out magazine. "Shirley Bassey with some Yugoslavian acrobats!"
