FARRELL: 'ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS ARE KILLING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY'

Former Jane's Addiction frontman PERRY FARRELL has hit out at people who download music online illegally - insisting they're killing the music industry.

The rocker believes making internet file sharing legitimate is necessary to reverse the tide in lessening music sales.

He says, "If you don't care what happens to music, keep downloading. Look at music and look at the polar caps - they're melting at the same rate.

"If you hear garbage music on your radio station, you have only yourself to blame. If you don't support the arts, that's what you're going to get. You're going to get American Idol. It's fine if you want to hear that, but I don't.

"So I'm trying to do something about it. We'll go out there and raise hell. Raise hell in a good way, I mean. We'll party."
