Paul Weller has slammed previous winners of the Brits' Lifetime Achievement award.
The singer has claimed that David Bowie, Bob Geldof and the late Freddie Mercury did not deserve to receive the honour.
"Bob Geldof? What'd he win it for? Can't be for his music, man," he told Uncut magazine. "I mean if it's for his charity work in Africa then you can't knock it, but Boomtown Rats, f**k off."
On Freddie Mercury, he ranted, "He said he wanted to bring ballet to the working classes. What a c***."
On David Bowie: "I like about three records of his. The rest of it's pish."
Weller's controversial comments come just one week after he attacked James Blunt, claiming he would rather "eat my own s**t than duet with him".
