Hard-Fi attack British tabloids

Hard-Fi have attacked the British tabloids for printing fabricated stories about the group's frontman Richard Archer.

The group were responding to allegations that Archer had romanced Lost In Translation actress Scarlett Johnansson earlier in the year.

Archer told WENN: "It was a total lie. When I rang them up to tell them they ran another story saying I was a fantasist and had made the whole thing up. The w*****s!"

The 'Cash Machine' rocker explained that even his friends have begun to believe the tales that they read in the red tops about his love life.

The singer told NME: "I actually had friends phoning me up saying, 'How come you haven't told me?' They actually believed it!"

Talking about the origins of the story, he added: "I think it all stemmed from our London show on December 19 and a mate of mine told me she was in town for a BAFTA thing, so jokingly we were going, 'Let's get her down to the show!' As if. And it all kicked off from that."
