F*** Farage': Muse support act takes aim at Nigel during gig

It's not long until Muse fans get the chance to hear their group's support acts - one of whom had a strongly-worded message for Nigel Farage at the weekend.

Former Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello took aim at the Brexit Party leader while warming up the London Stadium stage for Muse on Saturday night (June 1).

Morello, a long-standing critic of the former UKIP leader, presented a sign on the back of his guitar reading: 'F*** Farage'.

The musician, who released his first album under his own name in October, has previously criticised Mr Farage for calling his LBC podcast 'Farage Against The Machine'.

Morello has also taken issue with 'Killing in The Name' being used during UKIP rallies - and the guitarist once expressed an urge to give Mr Farage a 'dry slap'.

Muse are appearing in south Bristol tonight as part of their 'Simulation Theory' world tour, with Morello and Manchester band Pale Waves in support.
