Kaiser Ricky not impressed with new bands playing Diana concert

Kaiser Chiefs have criticised bands set to play at the previously reported Princess Diana memorial concert of using the anniversary of the Princess' death to help promote their records. Chief Kaiser Ricky Wilson reckons only those musicians who knew Diana should really take part. Commenting on the benefit event, he told reporters this week: "A lot of them are doing it to sell more records. It's fine if you're doing something like Live 8, which is raising awareness, that's all right. But not just Diana. I'm not disrespecting her, but can you imagine someone like Kasabian playing at the concert? Elton John can do it - he knew her. I didn't know her. It would be hypocritical [for us to play]". Among the bands due to be hypocritical at the Diana concert are Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Keane, Orson, James Morrison, Joss Stone and The English National Ballet. And especially that English National Ballet. Hypocrites.
