Steven Wilson says he never called Coldplay “wankers”

Steven Wilson has put the almost two-decade-old myth that he called Coldplay “wankers” to bed.Today, (July 17), the Porcupine Tree singer and multi-instrumentalist has finally addressed the infamous image of him holding up a sign that reads “Coldplay are wankers”. Taken at a US Porcupine Tree show in 2006, the photo went viral, and for years fans have taken it as official confirmation of Wilson’s stance on Coldplay.Now, Wilson has taken to Instagram to quash the rumours once and for all, admitting that he was actually a fan of Coldplay at the time, and continues to listen to their music today.Wilson shared that the sign had been passed to him by a member of the audience, writing: “Now I kinda liked Coldplay (still do), so I was nonplussed and held up the sign to ask the author something along the lines of why had they written such an incorrect and inappropriate statement.”He continued: “Unfortunately for me, someone else took a photo of me at the exact moment of holding up the sign, and it got uploaded to the internet and went viral, with everyone attributing the sentiment of what was written there to me.”Wilson shared that, despite the photo being taken 18 years ago, its legacy lives on and has haunted him for years.

Spotify removes Russian artists who support Ukraine war

Spotify has begun to remove Russian artists who are in support of the war in Ukraine from the streaming platform.Back in 2022, Spotify shuttered its Moscow office in response to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Confirming its Moscow office would be closed “indefinitely”, the streaming platform said they were “providing individual support to our personnel” in Moscow, as well as their “global community of Ukrainian employees”.They then suspended their services in the country after Russia introduced a new legislation that makes it illegal to report any event that could discredit the Russian military.“Spotify has continued to believe that it’s critically important to try to keep our service operational in Russia to provide trusted, independent news and information from the region,” the company said in a statement.Now, the streaming platform has begun to take down the profiles of pro-war Russian artists – removing their music entirely.As reported by The Moscow Times, artists such as the band Lyube, Grigory Leps, Oleg Gazmanov, Polina Gagarina, and Shaman, among others have been affected by Spotify’s choice to pull pro-war Russian artists from their services.In a statement sent to the publication, Spotify said: “Platform Rules clearly state that we take action when we identify content which explicitly violates our content policies or local laws.
