The Voice judge Danny O'Donoghue slams TV pop stars


THE Script have 
admitted their new 
single is an attack on reality pop stars — even though frontman Danny O’Donoghue was a judge on The Voice UK.

Hall of Fame, which features will.i.am, was written to inspire a new generation of musicians.

Dubliner Danny has just 
finished a judging stint on The Voice UK, alongside Jessie J, Tom Jones and will.i.am.

But the star revealed: “I hate the idea of getting famous just for being famous.

“People say ‘How can you say that when you did The Voice?’, but I did the show to represent bands.

“Our message is, don’t be famous for fame’s sake. Be a teacher, a politician, whatever, but get on your soapbox and say something — don’t expect to get it on a plate.”

The powerful anthem, out Monday, was also penned to inspire 35-year-old guitarist Mark Sheehan’s wife Rina for a 4K charity race she ran for Cancer Research.

Danny (31) explained: “Some of the older women Rina ran with were busting their a*ses off to finish.
Album

“It was so heartwarming. I was thinking about the Olympic spirit too.”

The Irish trio’s next
album, titled #3, drops on September 10 and they believe it’s their strongest yet.
Danny added: “My lyrics come from deep-rooted issues.

“I’m sure there’s some 
computer program that could be written to analyse it because I get all the dark stuff out in The Script.”
