U2’s Bono Calls Coldplay’s Chris Martin A “Wanker” & “Cretin” (Photos)

U2’s Bono did an interview on radio to promote his new CD “No Line On The Horizon”. But Bono seemed to have Coldplay’s Chris Martin on his mind and referred to him as a “wanker” and “cretin”.  Read more on Bono’s insults on Martin below.

In the radio interview, Jo Whiley asked Bono if he thought Chris Martin was as talented as Paul McCartney.

“I think he’s that good a melodist, but he’s a wanker,” was Bono’s reply. Damn, guess he doesn’t find Martin as talented as McCartney, just a guess!

Whiley reportedly asked Bono for an apology, but Bono just said, “I’m a reformed character, I don’t any more.”

Then to dig himself deeper, Bono said Chris Martin was “obviously a completely dysfunctional character and a cretin, but he happens to be a great melodist and up there with Ray Davies, Noel Gallagher and Paul McCartney.”

Later in the interview, seemed to rethink his rude comments and stated, “I think [Coldplay] are a great band and, actually, it turns out [Martin's] a great soul as well. Sorry about that. I was just joking entirely.”

Bono wants us to believe he was joking? Yeah, right!
