British rockers Kasabian have launched an all-out attack against Justin Timberlake.

Kasabian brands the ex-Mouseketeer and current pop star a "midget" and a "puppet".
The verbal tirade comes as the group is riding high in the UK charts with their number one album, and Timberlake is about to top the singles charts with his comeback track “Sexyback”.

Kasabian leadman Tom Meighan says, "He's a midget with whiskers who is just trying to be black. He's a puppet in a million-dollar suit who's had his strings cut off. It's just money music. Absolute rubbish. You can smell the money coming off it. He's a kn*bhead."

Bassist Chris Edwards adds, "Sexyback? More like hairy back. It's the worst title of any record I've ever heard!"
