Peter Andre offers fans the shirt off his back

The 34-year-old singer/songwriter, who currently resides in England, has lashed out at greedy record executives for trying to deny potential fans easy access to his back catalogue. "What these studio fatcats don't realise is that it's all about brand extension," said the ARIA award-winner. "Prohibited downloads often lead to increased album purchases. Maybe they should be thinking less about legal action and more about that Funky Junky: The Best Of Peter idea I pitched them last month."

Andre re-entered the public consciousness courtesy of his glamour model wife Katie ‘Jordan' Price, who he met on B-grade reality TV show I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004. The pair subsequently recorded a duet of 'A Whole New World', ironic downloads of which first alerted Andre to the potential of viral marketing. 

"Check out the comments on YouTube. Someone said the Mysterious Girl filmclip is ‘still da best!!!'. You can't buy that kind of publicity - not while Molly Meldrum's refusing to return my calls."
