Perry Defends Tyler's National Anthem
\"He’s a rock singer... He’s using the tools that he’s got
In an interview with the National Post Perry defended his bandmate after an enormous amount of criticism following his performance of the Star Spangled Banner at an American football match at the weekend.
"That song is a bitch,” said Perry. "They should just get one guy, like an opera singer, who delivers the song exactly the same way when you see the American flag or the Canadian flag, so no one messes with it. Why can’t somebody interpret it the way that they want?”
Perry added that Tyler had flown from his home in Los Angeles, after attending two funerals, to sing the national anthem.
"He’s got a one in a million voice and people are lucky to hear it,” said Perry. "Give me a break, he’s a rock singer. He’s using the tools that he’s got.”
