The musician, who releases his seventh studio album Last Night in March, said that he knows some writers find him "distasteful", so he is willing to give them bribes to write nice things.
Writing on his official website, he said: "Sometimes journalists read my updates. If you're a journalist and you're thinking of either giving Last Night a bad review or writing something nasty about me I'd be more than happy to send cash/drugs/hookers to you in the interest of receiving good press.
"I'm all for freedom of the press, but I'm not averse to some good old-fashioned fourth estate payola. I know that some members of the press find me distasteful. I understand, I'm opinionated and annoying. But don't you think you could shelve the bad review in the interest of free money or drugs?"
