Australia’s Nick Cave has covered Marc Bolan’s T.Rex track ‘Cosmic Dancer’ for the tribute album ‘AngelHeaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T.Rex’.

The original album was planned for release in 2017 to mark Marc Bolan’s 70th birthday (had he lived). The album is now scheduled for 4 September.

Artists featured on the album include Joan Jett, Todd Rundgren, Julian Lennon, Beth Orton and U2 collaborating with Elton John.

Marc Bolan fronted T.Rex up until his death on 16 September 1977 at age 29. His girlfriend Gloria Jones was driving him home when the car struck a fence, then a tree, killing Bolan instantly.

His funeral was attended by David Bowie, Rod Stewart and Steve Harley.
