However, one man who surely won’t be buying a ticket is Fox News’ music critic, Greg Gutfeld, who this week made his dislike for the band international news.

In a segment about music news, he called them a ‘poor man’s Faith No More’ and compared front man Anthony Kiedis to a gorilla playing the guitar and the US news footage quickly went viral.
Greg later called the Red Hot Chilli Peppers ‘the worst band on the planet’, clarifying the day after ‘the ‘worst band in the universe’.
