KEANE - KEANE SLAMS MARTIN'S FALSE ACCENT

KEANE frontman TOM CHAPLIN has lashed out at COLDPLAY singer CHRIS MARTIN for disguising his posh accent to endear himself to fans. The English trio are proud to be some of the few middle-class musicians in the mainly working-class rock scene, and refuse to alter their speech to appear more 'common'. Chaplin says, "I remember seeing Chris Martin on television, and thinking, if I ever get on TV, I'm not going to start dropping my Ts and Gs. "It would be like cutting out a piece of who you are just to please other people."
