Kasabian launch attack on Timberlake

Kasabian have blasted Justin Timberlake for being a ridiculous music industry "puppet".

The British band, who recently released their second album Empire, engaged in scathing criticism of the former *Nsync star and his new single 'SexyBack'.

According to Contactmusic, frontman Tom Meighan ranted: "He's a midget with whiskers who is just trying to be black. He's a puppet in a million-dollar suit who's had his strings cut off. It's just money music. Absolute rubbish. You can smell the money coming off it. He's a k**bhead."

Bass player Chris Edwards chipped in: "'SexyBack'? More like hairy back. It's the worst title of any record I've ever heard!"
