"I don’t know if she’d like to sing with a grandmother, but it might be interesting.”
Nancy Sinatra has conducted an interview with Uncut Magazine, telling the publication that her dream collaboration is with 20 year old pop star, Billie Eilish.
Sinatra, the daughter of Frank Sinatra sung the titular theme song for Sean Connery's Bond film You Only Live Twice, 53 years before Eilish recorded the track for Daniel Craig's performance as 007 in 2021's No Time To Die.
She told the magazine, “Billie Eilish would be fun. I don’t know if she’d like to sing with a grandmother, but it might be interesting.”
While on paper the collaboration may feel far fetched, Sinatra was quoted as an influence on Eilish throughout her 2019 record, When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go?. She quotes that Sinatra's Im A Fool To Want You was the inspiration behind her track Xanny.
Eilish recently opened up about living with Tourette's Syndrome in an interview with David Letterman.

“I don’t care. It’s really weird, I haven’t talked about it at all. The most common way people react is they laugh, because they think that I’m trying to be funny. They think I’m [ticcing] as, like, a funny move… And I’m always left incredibly offended by that.
“What’s funny is so many people have it that you would never know. A couple artists came forward and said ‘I’ve actually always had Tourette’s.’ And I’m not gonna out them, because they don’t want to talk about it, but that was really interesting to me. I was like, ‘You do?! What?'”
