Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has said that he feels sorry about derogatory remarks he made about Arcade Fire earlier in the year. As previously reported, Coyne apparently said that the band were "pricks" who "treated their crew like shit". But he didn't mean it, he meant it about someone else. Not the band, you see.
Look, here's what he told Entertainment Weekly: "I didn't necessarily mean it about the people in the Arcade Fire. I meant it about the guys that were running their stages at a couple of festivals. I wish whatever had been said wouldn't have been taken as such a defiant statement from the Flaming Lips, because it wasn't. I just assumed it was a joke."
Asked if he would like to apologise to the group, he said: "I would. I really feel bad about it. I like enough of their music. The idea that I'm somehow against them... I'm not!"
