Harris admits to lying about lost tracks

Calvin Harris admits he invented the story about losing a hard drive at Heathrow to cover the delay of his album.

Calvin Harris has admitted that he lied about losing a hard drive full of songs at Heathrow to detract from the fact that his new LP was coming on so slowly.

Harris has now told Popjustice: "The first tactic of delaying the album was pretending that I lost it at Heathrow. That one worked pretty well. That was concocted between me and my sound engineer, Jimmy. I should make it clear that they did in fact lose our bags - that is fact - but it was not true that the album was in them. I would never check a hard drive in luggage. So the thing about Heathrow wasn't so much a lie, as, well, an untruth".

Shocking. And in fact, probably exactly the kind of thing I would do. So I'm not one to talk.
