Los Angeles - Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction frontman who also created the Lollapalooza music festival, said that this year's event in Chicago will feature recordings of collaborations between various artists scheduled to perform at the festival, which will be sold on iTunes and then performed onstage during the event, MTV News reported. An Apple (NASD: AAPL) spokesperson told MTV that talks were underway, but nothing had been formalized. "We're going to have collaborations -- people collaborating on songs -- and then put them on iTunes, and then they'll perform them at Lollapalooza for a once-in-a-lifetime experience," Farrell told MTV News.
