You have to ask yourself though mate, how is it he has a large number of people who do spend their spare time slagging him off? I am not aware of any other "musician" - in the loosest possible sense - who invokes such a reaction. A 1 minute Google, reveals this sort of thing:
"Should be drowned, now, fast; to make up for not doing it at birth."
"The turd is a ****, a talentless useless ****. All of his fans are cunts and anyone who buys his solo music is a total thunder ****. I would piss on him if he was on fire, but not enough to put out the flames."
"This creature is an embarrassment to Manchester, as if we need any more."
"Autobiography:
Ch 1. Woke up and acted like a ****.
Ch 2. Woke up and acted like a ****.
Ch 3. Woke up and acted like a ****.
Ch 4. Woke up and acted like a ****.
(I got bored after chapter 4......)"
"Weapons-grade cockwhisk."
"Morrisey=wanker
No further discussion required"
etc etc etc etc etc
Why does such a "talented" musician engender such reactions? There is a simple answer.
