FLAMING LIPS SWITCHES SOCCER SIDES

FLAMING LIPS frontman WAYNE COYNE pledged his support to England in the FIFA World Cup last night (23JUN06), after his native team USA were knocked out of the tournament.

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips concert held at the Royal Albert Hall. London, England - 22.04.06

The Oklahoma band was one of the headliners of the O2 Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park.

Coyne cheered on the England team ahead of Sunday's (25JUN06) match against Ecuador, after he saw USA lose their last game to Ghana in Germany on Thursday (22JUN06).

Performing a cover of QUEEN hit BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, Coyne said, "We were told not to play this if the football World Cup wasn't going well. But because it is, we're gonna play it."
