The son of late Beatle John Lennon has declared that rock 'n' roll is dead.
Singer-songwriter Sean Lennon, 31, sparked controversy by suggesting that pop music is less important today than it was in his father's sixties heyday.
He said: “I mean rock 'n' roll is already kind of played out. I wouldn't even be doing it if my mission was to be a pioneer.
"I'm only worried about creating beautiful songs. I'm not trying to reinvent songwriting. Pop music and rock 'n' roll, it's not such a vital art form anymore in the way that it was in the sixties.”
