Paul Weller Slams 'Boring Coldplay'

Paul Weller says Coldplay "bore the shit" out of him.

The singer, who will collect a Lifetime Achievement at next week's Brit awards, also admitted he can't stand listening to 'You're Beautiful' singer James Blunt.

He stormed: "I don't get Coldplay and James Blunt. They bore the shit out of me. I've met Chris Martin and I don't want to slag him off because he's a lovely lad, but his music is too fucking bland."

Weller also lashed out at U2. The former Jam frontman insists he's never been a fan of the Irish rockers and can't understand why singer Bono is viewed as such a saintly figure. He told Britain's Arts and Books Review magazine: "Never liked them. That whole thing of Bono becoming the Pope, what the fuck is that all about? Pseudo-American rubbish."
