Read our privacy policy A tweet posted from the account of former Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins appears to share new music by the convicted sex offender. Some publications have interpreted the post, called ‘Sequence Initiated’, to mean that Watkins may be planning to release new music, but The Independent was unable to verify this at the time of writing. TeamRock noted that the official Lostprophets website The ‘Sequence Initiated’ track only lasts for seven seconds, compared to the second most recent mix tape posted on the Soundcloud account which is 57 minutes, 33 seconds long and includes samples from Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams’ and Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance’. However it does bear strong similarities to the account user's previous style of remixing: It includes a female vocalist saying ‘L’AmourLaMorgue’ which is used in other mixes, and cover art featuring two masked figures who have also been used on other tracks.
