Royal Blood 'getting a kicking' for their behaviour towards BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend crowd

Rock band duo Royal Blood have come under fire after frontman Mike Kerr had what looked like a bit of a strop on stage at BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend. The 32-year-old mocked the audience and suggested that they didn’t know who the band were.

“Well I guess we should introduce ourselves considering no one knows who we actually are,” Mike began. “'We're called Royal Blood and this is rock music. Who likes rock music? Nine people... brilliant.”

Later on, as he introduced his bandmates, Mike added: “This is Ben Thatcher and he plays drums... everybody say hi to Ben please. We're having to clap ourselves because that was so pathetic. Well done, Ben.”
