Simon Cowell responds to Depeche Mode member comment that he should be shot

Simon Cowell has angrily reacted to a comment by Martin Gore that Cowell should be shot.

In an interview last week Depeche Mode member Gore said that shows X Factor have a negative influence on Music and added “I’m not advocating violence, but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.”

Cowell responded via twitter earlier today saying “I read Martin Gore wants to shoot me, He was is in Depeche Mode. Do you realize how weird and stupid that makes you. Go and watch the news. Why I am angry about weirdo Gore is a ton of people have got shot this year, and people like weirdo Gore encourage this.”
