Pop star Kelly Clarkson’s new album will have a punk edge - thanks to rock legend Mike Watt, who is playing bass on the record.

Watt - currently performing with Iggy and the Stooges - agreed to the collaboration after hearing Clarkson’s powerful vocals.

Watt says, “I heard that Kelly won some game show, but I was really impressed how she sang her a** off.”
