I don’t why, but I am sooo shocked that Bono would rip on seemingly loveable Chris Martin. And I’m a bit upset, to tell you the truth. I guess I thought Bono was above name-calling pettiness. Didn’t you?

During a recent live radio broadcast Bono was asked by the host to apologize for calling Chris a “wanker”. (And FYI. wanker is considered a swear word in the UK.)

The show’s host, Jo Whiley, stopped the session and forced the star to apologise to listeners for the outburst. Bono retracted his previous comment, saying “Oops! Sorry, sorry, I’m a reformed character – I don’t do that (swear) any more,” before going on to label Martin “a completely dysfunctional character and a cretin” instead.

Nice Bono. Where’s the love and the peace you preach about brother? Bono insists that no matter what his opinion of Martin as a person, he is a big fan of Coldplay’s music – calling the singer a “genius melodist up there with Ray Davies and Paul McCartney”.
