Royal Blood kommentoi hiljattaista turhautumistaan Big Weekend -festivaalin yleisöön

Julkaisimme sivustollamme hiljattain uutisen, jossa kerroimme brittiläisen rockduo Royal Bloodin kyllästyneen yleisöönsä BBC Radio 1 -kanavan Big Weekend -festivaalissa niin pahasti, että basisti-laulaja Mike Kerr poistui lavalta keskisormet pystyssä.

I don’t mean any offense. My intention is never to alienate anyone or kind of push anyone away.”
