‘Doctor Who’ season 8 spoilers: ‘Clarity’ singer Foxes to guest

Do you want some clarity on what is coming up on “Doctor Who” season 8? Well, we can at least offer you now something in the form of one of the show’s upcoming guest stars: The woman who provided the vocals for the aforementioned Zedd hit.

The BBC confirmed the news today that Foxes would be a guest star (and a guest performer) in an upcoming episode using the same thing that they traditionally use to make such announcements clear: A statement. Here is what Foxes had to say in it:

“I can’t believe I’m actually going to be in an episode of Doctor Who! Especially as it all came about from a chance meeting. I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show’s production team who’d been watching my performance. I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn’t think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK’s most iconic shows!”

Meanwhile, showrunner Steven Moffat also contributed the following:

“We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board … well, you’ll see. Let’s just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls.”

The idea of there being a performance on “Doctor Who” is something that may be a little more polarizing to people, but we have a feeling that we’re going to see Foxes and the team pull something interesting off here. It is at least nice to see that the show casts sometimes based on feeling and gut instinct, rather than just coming up with a plan and sticking to it even when it doesn’t work.

The show will return to the BBC in August, and there was recently a video released talking all about it. Also, sign up today to get further updates courtesy of our official newsletter.
