Franz Ferdinand singer hits out at distant Sting
20/09/2004 - 09:20:58Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos has slammed musician Sting as being "distanced from reality".
Kapranos' criticism about the singer comes just days after he took a swipe at Pop Idol judge Simon Cowell and manufactured pop acts.
Kapranos said: "I saw this interview with Sting and he was talking about how he had to be in a certain tower in his mansion, surrounded by candles, to be able to write a song.
"And I thought: 'Oh my God, how distanced from reality have you become? You can do it anywhere!'"
