Heroin could save industry from teen singers: Russell Brand

LONDON - British actor Russell Brand, who is not so impressed with the new brigade of singers, thinks heroin could save the music industry from teen pop stars such as Justin Bieber.

“The top of the hit parade would look very different if teenyboppers were exposed to heroin. It would weed a lot of them out. I don’t think Justin Bieber could handle Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd’s habit,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.

“A lot of people in their journey to rehab overdose, and then, perhaps, we could be spared their awful music. It’s Darwinian. It’s the law of natural selection,” he added.

Brand’s suggestion could upset fiancee and singer Katy Perry, who has previously professed her love for 16-year-old Bieber.
