Über camp singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright has blasted the pop royalty that is Beyonce Knowles.
In the scathing attack, Wainwright said he was “sick” of Beyonce’s music and that a lot of it is very formulaic.
He ranted to Spin Magazine: "I'm really sick of Beyonce. All of her songs are formulaic and produced in the basest way. There's no enlightenment. Like most mainstream pop these days, it's more of a scientific experiment than an artist experience. But hey, it's your life, you know."
As previously reported, the singer hits the road for four shows, following his Glastonbury appearance on June 22. He plays:
Brighton Dome Theatre - June 24
Oxford New Theatre - 25
Folkestone Leas Cliff – 27/28
