Big mouth strikes again. Blur singer Damon Albarn has hit out at Radiohead in his latest tirade for the hypocricy of idolisation that surrounds the band.
The singer made the astonishing outburst in a national tabloid where he says the humanist thing coming out from singer Thom Yorke is contradicted by the bands huge tours.
He reportedly told The Sun: "Radiohead – I'm not gonna get into anyone, but bands who care about certain things and then go on one and a half year stadium tours are just total hypocrites."
"In one sense you've got this developing humanist thing that’s coming out of you, which is great. Then you're creating these massive impersonal events where you set up as the subject of thousands of people's adoration. Where is the humanity in that? That’s just idolatry".
He also went on to have a dig at Bono and Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof, where he says:"You can't question Geldof's passion. But him and Bono – if you're so interested and care about Africa, think about the people, see them as a neighbour. Be interested in what they are interested in and don’t impose your own ideas. It's imperious, it really is."
