Scots band The Ronains received a death threat from Russia after their new single artwork for Lunatics featured an image of Vladimir Putin.
The band, whose new track questions how society labels those with mental health issues, had decided to use images of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Vladimir Putin, Joe Biden, North Korean Kim Jong-Un and other world leaders to question what real insanity might look like.
They suggested Putin and his peers might be better suited to an asylum than others with mental health issues - and couldn’t believe it when they received a death threat from a Russian Facebook user. The message they received privately said: “Watch your drinks you Ukrainian British f***, we know what you look like and will track you. Russia forever”.
