Ashcroft: I feel like Jesus(Thorsten, 2006/01/06 – 09:29) Former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft has courted controversy by comparing himself to Jesus Christ.
The singer, who releases his new album ‚Keys to the World‘ on January 23, claims that only himself and Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher know what it is like to touch people like a messiah.
Speaking about Jesus, he said: „I love the man, I feel like him.“
He added: „There’s only Richard Ashcroft and Liam Gallagher who know what it feels like. We’re the only ones who know how many people we’ve touched and how powerful that is.
„I feel like I’m on a one-man mission. I’m here to use my tools and my gift to take them to a higher level.“
Ashcroft has also revealed that new song ‚Why Not Nothing‘, which appears on his new album, was written to criticise US President George W Bush for using religion to justify his politics.
