Wayne Coyne Talks Shelved Kesha Project, Dr. Luke Controversy
. "[Kesha's] lawsuit is a wholehearted effort by Kesha to regain control of her music career and her personal freedom after suffering for 10 years as a victim of mental manipulation, emotional abuse and an instance of sexual assault at the hands of Dr. Luke," a statement issued by Kesha's lawyer, Mark Geragos, reads. In an interview with Radio.com promoting the upcoming Flaming Lips album, With a Little Help From My Fwends, frontman Wayne Coyne weighed in with his take on the Kesha/Dr. Luke relationship. And if that sounds odd to you, you may have forgotten the much-talked-about, and then abruptly shelved Kesha/Flaming Lips collaborative album. After working together on 2012's The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends album, the unlikely combo started working on a full-length effort, under the name "Lip$ha." But in November of 2013, Coyne tweeted, "As of now �sadly there will be no Lip$ha�. I can't say why� It is sad� " Now, however, Coyne is opening up a bit about why that album got kiboshed, and all signs point toward Dr. Luke. Coyne compares working with Kesha to working with Miley Cyrus, who is a guest on their new album. "[Miley Cyrus] doesn't have a dilemma like Kesha did, or does," he tells Radio.com. "But the stuff that we did together [with Kesha] was just spectacular, and it made us want to do more. And I think we did like four or five songs, and then Kesha would remind me, 'Wayne, I can't put this music out, Dr. Luke will kill me.' I was like, 'Oh! I didn't know!'" Read more here.
