Stewart believes that the record industry's need for "instant stars" is detrimental to bands who want to take a more traditional path to success.
He said: "These days, kids go straight from TV shows such as Britain's Got Talent to performing in vast arenas. The TV shows shoot them into the charts and create instant stars.
"But it's all so fast-paced and manufactured that the kids aren't prepared. And if we're relying on talent shows to produce our stars, we won't have music that endures. We won't have bands like Pink Floyd that have lasted for a quarter of a century."
