CALVIN HARRIS has admitted that he lied about airport staff losing his songs.
The producer claimed that staff at London Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 lost a hard drive full of his new songs after a baggage mix-up.
But today he revealed that he up the story to divert attention from the time it was taking to record his new LP.
He said: "The first tactic of delaying the album was pretending that I lost it at Heathrow. That one worked pretty well. That was concocted between me and my sound engineer, Jimmy.
"I should make it clear that they did in fact lose our bags - that is fact - but it was not true that the album was in them."
He added: "I would never check a hard drive in luggage. So the thing about Heathrow wasn't so much a lie, as, well, an untruth."
