Damon Albarn slams The Rolling Stones and their new album Hackney Diamonds: “Making exactly the same music but not that good. There must be no joy in doing something like this"

Damon Albarn.

Damon Albarn isn’t exactly known for keeping his opinions to himself, but his new comments about The Rolling Stones, made in an interview with French publication Les Inrockuptibles, are still likely to put the cat amongst the pigeons.

The Stones, of course, have staged a successful comeback this year with new album Hackney Diamonds, but it seems that Albarn is no fan of either the music it contains or the way it was promoted.
