David Byrne criticizes U2's glitz

David Byrne

From his official website, the talented former leader of the Talking Heads has commented on the Tour that the Irish band is currently on, stating that the cost of it is'excessive and unnecessary'.

In addition, he complained that his presentation on a well-known American television program It was canceled, since it was decided to give preference to the promotion of No Line On The Horizon, last work of the U2.

"Those stadium shows must be the most expensive and extravagant of all time… $ 40 million to set up the stage and some 200 trucks crossing Europe while they last.
It may sound like professional envy, but it can also be seen as a kind of contradiction in the face of the large number of people starving in Africa, a cause that they have always said they defend.
", wrote.

"Or maybe it's because they canceled our Letterman presentation so that U2 could promote their album… what's so charitable about that? Anyway, thanks guys", finished.
