Alex mentions Albert’s band on their new record, Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino.

On the track Star Treatment, Alex, 32, sings: “‘I just wanted to be one of The Strokes.”

And Albert said: “I just thought he was just writing a way to describe his youth and reminiscing.

“It’s like he’s saying, ‘I just wanted to be one of them and now I’m an adult and I’m no longer young and I’m doing all this stuff’.

“You never really think about yourself like that so when you hear it you just chuckle.

“I should text him and say ‘Why don’t you have me open for you?’.”

When asked if he’d like to perform alongside the Sheffield band on their next tour, Albert chirped: “Yeah, of course!”
