Peace frontman claims ‘strange things happened’ in hotel room with Rita Ora


Harrison Koisser claims "strange things happened" when he was in a hotel room with Rita Ora.

The Peace frontman recalled "a big night" he had with the chart-topping singer and eight others while in a room at a London hotel, but admitted recounting the story could land him in trouble due to their wild antics.

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "My friend and I were in a hotel room in London with her [Rita Ora], and eight other people, and strange things happened. But I’d get in trouble if I say. It was a big night. I’ve got the fear thinking about it."

The rocker – who will release his second album ‘Happy People’ with bandmates Samuel Koisser, Douglas Castle and Dominic Boyce, on Monday (09.02.15) – confessed the band have vowed never to speak about their debaucheries because their behaviour can be "extreme".

He explained: "The strangest occurrences we don’t discuss. There is a pact of secrecy between myself and those involved in the band of anything that would be too strange. We’re two extremes. We will have 14 days of everyone being really calm and then there will be the one day of horror levels of excitement and things.

"But no-one likes to brag about it. If we have a wild one, we say, ‘Let’s not let anyone know. Let’s keep this to ourselves’."

While the ‘Lost On Me’ singer is not keen to reveal what they do during their maddest moments, he conceded all of their tales are x-rated.

He hinted: "Strange things have happened, but I don’t know if there has been anything that is clean. I don’t have a clean story."

Peace will perform at Heaven in London on February 9 as part of the NME Awards Shows with Austin, Texas.
