NewsThe Who frontman attacks Live Earth gigsThe Who frontman Roger Daltrey has slammed the upcoming Live Earth concert as being un-environmental. The concerts being organised by former US vice-president Al Gore, will take place in city's across the globe on July 7 and feature the likes of Madonna and Foo Fighters. However the singer believes the shows are undermining their own aims of raising awareness about climate change. "Bollocks to that! The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert," he told The Sun. "I can't believe it. Let's burn even more fuel. We have problems with global warming, but the questions and the answers are so huge I don't know what a rock concert's ever going to do to help." However The Who man - who claimed the gigs are pointless as most of the planet were aware of global warming issues - did offer a novel solution of his own to the world's environmental woes. "My answer is to burn all the fucking oil as quick as possible and then the politicians will have to find a solution," he declared. The worldwide shows have also being criticised by Live8 organiser Bob Geldof, however Daltrey was also critical of that event, even though his band planed the London leg. "What did we really achieve at Live 8? We got loads of platitudes and no action. Who were we kidding there?" he asked. "At least with (original event) Live Aid, Bob Geldof was willing to work the trenches and they did save a lot of lives. We could see what we achieved at the end of it." Bright Eyes pulls out of V Festival line-up Bright Eyes has pulled out of his scheduled V Festival appearance this weekend (August 18 and 19) due to illness. The singer-songwriter - real name Conor Oberst - had been due to headline the Virgin Mobile Union stage at the Chelmsford leg of the V Festival on Saturday (August 18), and the Stafford leg on Sunday (August 19). Bright Eyes will be replaced by Mexican acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, who will now headline the VMU stage on both legs of the festival. The band's shows in Bristol (August 15), Liverpool (16) and Nottingham (17) are also cancelled. |
