X Factor supremo Simon Cowell was left shaken earlier this week after jibes made by 80s pop star Martin Gore shocked him to the core.
The telly boss fears that comments made by the rocker could be taken seriously, especially after the recent spate of shooting incidents across America this year.
Si hit back at the Dépêche Mode guitarist labelling Gore a ‘weirdo’.
Cowell’s rage came after 51-year-old Gore blamed Cowell for destroying the music industry.
He told Music Week: “I’m not advocating violence, but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.”
Gore added: “His influence in the music industry over the last God knows how many years it’s been now. It’s just like; so many people think that that’s what music is.
“What happened to bands getting together? They are very few and far between now and the ones that do probably can’t afford to get into a studio and make a record.”
The 53-year-old pop mogul wasted no time in blasting back. He tweeted: “I read Martin gore wants to shoot me. He was in Dépêche mode. Do you realise how weird and stupid that makes you. Go and watch the news.”
“Why I am angry about weirdo gore is a ton of people have got shot this year and people like weirdo gore encourage this.”
I reckon Cowell’s feeling the strain after he became the latest celebrity to fall victim to a series of pranks that saw police being called to his luxury Beverly Hills home.
The anonymous sicko claimed there was “someone tied up with duct tape needing help”.
After contacting the star, officers realised that was no such incident took place.
I agree with Si,’ Martin Gore IS A weirdo and should know better than to say such stupid things in public… Gag Gore now, I say!
