The Canadian songwriter, Ron Sexsmith has apologised Travis after an untrue story about their imminent collaboration proliferated the music media.
Ron said: "That is something that I am kicking my manager about. I haven't even met them yet. Basically, the drummer and the bass player from Travis have been working with Mark Terefe on a record called Clarkesville for this new songwriter who is really good. They were fans of my records and next thing I get this call from Martin saying they would love to be the band on my next album. But that's as far as its gone so far. Then my manager just casually met this guy from Billboard magazine and next thing you know it is in Billboard that I am making my next album with Travis. We had to call them up and apologise because it was a bit awkward".
