We Won't Get Fooled Again; Roger Daltry cries "bollocks!" on Al Gore and Madonna

Just when it looked like every rock star on the planet was jumping aboard Al Gore's green bandwagon, there’s a backlash already underway.

The Who's Roger Daltry has bl'asted the big Wembley gig Gore is organising to raise awareness of global warming.

Just when it looked like every rock star on the planet was jumping aboard Al Gore's green bandwagon, there’s a backlash already underway.

The Who's Roger Daltry has bl'asted the big Wembley gig Gore is organising to raise awareness of global warming.

The huge concert - which features performances from the likes of Madonna and the Red Hot Chili Peppers - is taking place at Wembley on 7 July and in other countries around the world.

But Roger, who played with U2 at Live Aid and Live8, reckons the whole thing is a waste of time.

Speaking exclusively to Bizarre, Roger said: "Bollocks to that! The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert."

"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. Everybody on this planet at the moment, unless they are living in the deepest rainforest in Brazil, knows about climate change.”

Daltry added: "My answer is to burn all the fucking oil as quick as possible and then the politicians will have to find a solution.”
