OMG, Bono. We like you but we don’t like it when you unnecessarily dis other musicians. Come on, you are — or should be — above that kind of pettiness.
From The Sun:
ROCK legend BONO stunned Radio 1 listeners yesterday by calling COLDPLAY singer CHRIS MARTIN a “w****r” live on air.
The U2 frontman also branded him “a cretin” and “dysfunctional” during a bizarre outburst.
Shocked DJ JO WHILEY asked the Sunday Bloody Sunday singer to apologise — and said sorry herself.
The Irish rocker, 48, blamed his language on it being “early” — even though it was nearly noon.
The shocking slip came when Bono and the band went on Live Lounge to chat between songs — and perform some of their own.
After playing Coldplay’s 2008 hit Viva La Vida, Jo, 43, reminded Bono he recently rated Chris, 31, alongside PAUL MCCARTNEY.
Bono, seen above with Chris at a recent charity gig, replied: “He’s a w****r.”
He then apologised, when asked, for swearing.
But he giggled: “Obviously he is a completely dysfunctional character and a cretin but he happens to be a genius melodist.”
The BBC last night apologised “for any offence caused”.
UPDATE: Here’s the audio of the Bono interview. Thankfully, it isn’t as bad as we thought it would be.

go Bono you legend! What’s a rock star if he can’t swear???
U2 rocks, and any rumours about them breaking up are wrong… or should be.
