Singer Ian Brown is facing a backlash after one of his tweets seemed to suggest he was against coronavirus vaccines, lockdowns and face masks.
The 57-year-old former Stone Roses frontman sparked outrage when he posted: “NO CLOSED, NO EVIDENCE, NO TRACKS, NO MASKS, NO VAX # investigation and destruction.”
Fellow musicians and other Twitter users said they were “gutted.” Brown was apparently supporting “anti-vaccine” (anti-vaccine) views.
He has yet to elaborate on the outbreak, which has received thousands of comments, likes, and shares.
The Reverend’s Twitter account and The Makers posted: “I love Ian Brown so much. A little gutted he tweeted that tbh.”
One of his fans wrote, “I love your music Ian, but I really hope you got hacked.”
Another commented, “I wish my teenage musical heroes would stop turning into idiots.”
Brown’s former bandmate John Squire appeared to counter Ian Brown’s tweet with a security warning.
He posted: “Wear a mask. Stay safe. Take care of yourself and others #morecambeandwise.”
But there were several people who tweeted their support for Brown.
One of them said: “The number of sheep in this thread is unreal, the guy is telling the truth. 99% of the people did not wear a mask on their ‘beak’ now everyone is on the train, it’s all about Government compliance, get a check man. “
Others posted “Amen” and “Amazing. God bless you.”
However, he continued to be criticized by many for using his platform irresponsibly.
One person wrote: “Yes, let’s all die from preventable diseases as if it were the year 1348 [when the Black Death hit]. “
