The Voice UK 2017: Sir Tom Jones’ act SLAMS Gavin Rossdale over his ‘experience’
THE VOICE UK contestant Septimus Prime has revealed that even if Gavin Rossdale did turn during the blind audition, he’d have stuck with Sir Tom Jones regardless.
Septimus Prime's incredible audition on The Voice
Gavin has been snubbed time and time again during his first stint on The Voice UK, and toyed with his shiny white button when 19-year-old Septimus stunned with a flawless rendition of Justin Bieber’s Love Yourself.
However, whether The Bush frontman’s chair swizzled for the singer or not, he’d have been without Septimus in the battle rounds.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, the London-born crooner explained: “I’m sure if it was between Tom and Gavin I would have still gone for Tom because of the experience.”
Though, he was quick to stress: “I’m definitely still a really big fan of Gavin.”
“I’m not trying to be Justin Timberlake,” the father of Daisy Lowe fumed. “So why am I being criticised because I’m not on Radio 1, who don’t want to play my records?
"It’s not my fault. When did I ever make a statement that I should be known and that I had made this concerted effort to be a pop star that everyone knew. I never was that guy. But I’m still making the records – and come to my shows: they’re packed.”
Bush disbanded in 2002 but reunited in 2010, with a seventh studio album due to be released this year.
The Voice UK continues tonight at 8pm on ITV.
