The Roots' drummer Questlove aired his anger about Jarvis Cocker's infamous Michael Jackson stunt as the former Pulp star performed on US TV last night.
Cocker, who famously invaded the stage during Jackson's performance at the 1996 Brit awards, debuted new single 'Further Complications' on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon.
But his appearance on the programme angered Questlove, who, along with the other Roots stars, is currently part of Fallon's house band.
In a message posted on Twitter, the drummer said: "Hmmm. Fighting the urge to get Jarvis Cocker for that MJ incident some years back."
The 38-year-old added that Cocker looked “throwned” - an American slang term for drunk.
Cocker, who only appeared as a performer on the programme, caused controversy at the Brits when he made an impromptu appearance onstage behind Jackson.
The singer was questioned by police on suspicion of assault over the incident, but later released without charge.
During a recent appearance on the political panel show Question Time, Cocker said the stage invasion had been prompted by Jackson's apparent decision to portray himself as Christ-like figure.
But when asked what he thought of the late singer as a performer, Cocker replied: “He invented the moonwalk.”

- Jarvis that moment is legendary, I salute you sir!!
- Jarvis the unknown, that moment showed your stupidity, disrespect and jealousy towards someone you knew (because the world showed you) was so great that in your own twisted mind you and only you thought he was Jesus Christ. To prove it was your twisted thoughts, no one at that time or no one since has ever mentioned that Michael Jackson thought he was Jesus Christ. You are a jealous fool, because at the time NO ONE KNEW WHO YOU WERE. It was only that incident that people came to know you, Sad
- haha legendary jarvis???? thats hilarious. that stunt will eventually and is already along the way to being forgotten and really not cared about in relation to the contribution jackson made to the world thorugh his talent/music. He was truly the greatest performer perhaps arguably (when thinking of elvis and lennon) but definitely it is arguable that he was thethe best. funny that jarvin (or whatever) is such a nobody that his brush with MJ gives him more fame than his music, which is not much:)
- i love how everyone loves mj now he's dead.
- **** THE UK AND THE WHITE RACE.
