Wiggins is so superbly unassuming, he looks like he's about to say 'Pop the gold medal in the post, I'm nipping out for some biscuits'

Here's what he said about Polly:

"For the Sound City gig, here in London, we were thinking about musicians that we could invite because Stevie Nicks and John Fogerty couldn't make it. Someone came up with the idea of doing a Nirvana song with PJ Harvey. Kurt loved her and we love her and we thought, 'Yeah, what would we do?' I said: 'God, what if we were to do 'Milk It' from 'In Utero' with Polly singing?' We all looked at each other, like, 'Woah, that would be amazing...' and then she couldn't do it! The thing is, it's sacred ground. If we were ever to do something like that it would have to be right because you want to pay tribute. There's a reason Foo Fighters don't do Nirvana songs, and it's a good reason."

I got the news from a PJ Harvey facebook page (the official one? - http://www.facebook.com/PJHarvey), which says that Grohl had actually asked her. But this is not what I read here.

Anyway, PJ would have turned him down in the same way, she has turned down Cobain's offer to go on tour with Nirvana in the early 90s.
