Garbage's Shirley Manson has hit out at Kanye West for invading the stage during Beck's Grammys acceptance speech.
In an open letter responding to Kanye's comments, which claimed that Beck should have respected "artistry" and given the award to Beyoncé , Manson wrote: "Dear Kanye West, It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry.
"You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK.
"You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt. In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre, including your own.
Grow up and stop throwing your toys around. You are making yourself look like a complete t**t.
"Ps.I am pretty certain Beyoncé doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own."
