Billie Eilish’s controversial statements seemingly did not go unnoticed by the music artists.
Amid the current vinyl records controversy, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Sean Ono Lennon voiced his opinion through his social media handles.
The star started by writing, “The vinyl record industry is a tiny shadow of what it once was. LPs and 45s are NOT disposable single use plastics,” adding, “Everyone complaining about vinyl records from an environmental perspective are doing so with their cellphones and their computers and their blue jeans and their sneakers and their b********.”
Keeping the artist’s name under the wraps, he continued, “The main artist speaking on this is brilliant and talented at music. I love them very much actually.”
“But coming out against a tiny niche market in an industry that has already been gutted by streaming services, is not the win you think it is. We literally only have a tiny handful of factories globally that can even print vinyl anymore,” Sean also said.
“Leave us boomers alone. We like our music to sound good. Let us have our records in the physical world. You can stream all you want to pay a tiny handful of CEOs. But we like vinyl. From my cold dead hands!” the 48-year-old declared in conclusion.
