Chris Isaak thinks Elvis Presley is deserving of his 'King' title.

The singer released Beyond the Sun late last year, which includes a collection of songs from famed artists Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Chris was proud to be representing some of music's most talented artists on the record.

'There's a reason they call [Elvis] the King of Rock and Roll. He has the greatest voice in rock music, ever,' he gushed in an interview with BBC Breakfast.

'And did I mention the hair?'

Chris is best known for his hits Wicked Game and Blue Hotel. The 55-year-old musician is famed for his vintage-inspired aesthetic, and says his look for his Wicked Game promo was no different.

Chris has recalled an embarrassing moment while sorting out his wardrobe for the music video.

'The suit [I wore] was made out of drapes. It looked kind of wild and I liked it,' he smiled.

'A Japanese woman turned the curtains into a suit. I tried it on and she said, 'I need one more day,' and I said, 'No, it fits perfect.' She was really red in the face,' he recalled.

'I looked down and realised she'd moved the flower off the crotch.'

Chris Cornell says that comments he made during the Soundgarden set at the Big Day Out in the Gold Coast on Sunday were directed at the BDO organisers, not Kanye West.

Kanye could be heard soundchecking while Soundgarden were performing at the event. It pissed Cornell off so much he told the crowd, ''Sounds like there's children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back..There's no other word for it.'

That was translated by some media as 'Cornell was pissed off with Kanye West'. Cornell took to Twitter today to set the record straight.

'My comments @ BDO were directed solely at inadequate tour production. Kanye had nothing to do with it! We love him.'

Big Day Out heads to Sydney this Thursday and then onto Melbourne on Sunday.

Rihanna and Chris Brown are 'unlikely' to become a couple again following their recent secret hook-ups.

The musical superstars split three years ago after an argument turned violent. Rihanna and Chris have reportedly been seeing each other again, meeting up regularly over the past 12 months.

Although the pair have rekindled their romance, it is doubtful that they will become serious again.

"They have probably hooked up no more than half a dozen times in the past year. It's very unlikely that Rihanna and Chris would ever get back together though,' a source told RadarOnline.

Following the 2009 altercation, Chris was charged with assaulting the pop beauty and served with a restraining order.

Rihanna does not feel victimised any longer and is not interested in what people think about her alleged romance with Chris.

'Rihanna doesn't care if she were to get public backlash if they were to reconcile, she is the one calling the shots now, which she likes,' the source explained. 'Rihanna knows that if they were to get back together, she wouldn't be able to maintain that strong role, and Chris would lose interest. They are both very young, and Rihanna would never be able to trust Chris because he has problems staying faithful."
