Gareth Gates slams Glastonbury

London: Pop Idol runner up Gareth Gates has slammed Glastonbury acts in a foul mouthed Twitter rant.

The singer criticised hip-hop stars Young Fathers and other bands like them performing at Glastonbury Festival this year, reported Digital Spy.

Writing on Twitter, Gates said: "Watching Glastonbury... Bands like 'Young Fathers' offend me. Is this talent? Is this musicianship?"

Young Fathers won the Mercury Prize last year for their debut album Dead. They performed at Glastonbury Festival on June 27. The Who will bring the festival to a close this evening with a headline slot.
