Damon Albarn has said he’s “pissed off” with the The Rolling Stones for their “nonsense” involvement with Hackney and “objectification” of Sydney Sweeney.The Blur frontman spoke about the legendary band in a new interview with French magazine Les Inrockuptibles, where he was asked about his thoughts on their new album ‘Hackney Diamonds’.“This really annoyed me” he said, “because my family lives in Hackney and the way they showed up at the Hackney Empire venue really pissed me off.
They’ve never did a thing in Hackney, they’ve never played there, never contributed to anything. They just showed up. It’s all nonsense.Albarn also expressed his irritation with their song ‘Angry’, whose music video features Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney, who Albarn thought was “objectified”.“I listened to their new song and watched this horrible music video showing them at different stages of their lives on billboards.
And this young woman objectified. What the hell is this? There’s something completely disconnected.”When asked about whether Albarn would be “80 years old, on billboards capitalizing on your past glory”, he responded: “There’s no chance and I’ll tell you why.”“I did all sorts of things, whereas they’ve never been anything other than The Rolling Stones,” he explained. “I love the idea of devoting your life to one thing, in search of the sublime.
