Jon McClure has slammed Simon Cowell for becoming famous by humiliating others.
Reverend and The Makers star Jon McClure has claimed that Simon Cowell is "Satan", it has been reported.
Speaking to the Sun, the frontman slammed the music mogul for making his money and success by degrading other people.
He ranted: "Simon Cowell is Satan. He's the devil. I'd like to tie him to an anchor and drop him in the ocean. He gets a kick out of humiliating people and ruining people's lives."
McClure said that one of the reasons he has become involved with the O2 Undiscovered's music workshop, which gives free guidance to unsigned artists, was to show people that they do not have to resort to appearing on reality TV to be successful.
He also told the newspaper that he believes the best way to break into the music industry is to show dedication and hard work by practising constantly and sending off demo tapes.
O2 Undiscovered has won the support of a number of musicians, including Manchester icon Ian Brown, singer-songwriter Guy Garvey, Dave Stewart from Eurythmics, Idlewild's Roddy Woomble and Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines.
