Lily Allen and other musicians should be concerned by bigger issues than downloading, according to Jon McClure.
Reverend and the Makers frontman Jon McClure has slammed popstar Lily Allen for attempting to be political.
Speaking to the Sun, the singer said that there are more important things for people to be concerned about than illegal filesharing, such as the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan or climate changes.
"What upsets me is last week Lily Allen and Muse came out and said 'We've got to campaign against file sharing. We're having breakfast with Peter Mandelson and we're gonna tell him to shut down kids' internet'," he explained.
In addition, McClure told the newspaper that Allen's appearances in lads magazines means she cannot be taken seriously when she tries to part in serious political discussions.
He also revealed that he illegally downloaded Allen's album and called for other musicians to reconsider their stance on filesharing.
Earlier this year, McClure criticised X Factor winner Leona Lewis for her diva-like behaviour after she took a vow of silence before each show she played in the US.
The musician also told the Sun that reality TV shows are dangerous, as they allow artists to become famous without putting in years of hard work.
