Nickelback's Chad Kroeger praises One Direction: 'They're really talented and can genuinely sing'

Earlier this month, it was revealed that boyband One Direction had been spending time in the studio with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and he has now praised the lads' talents. 

Speaking to Britain's The Sun newspaper, the rocker admitted that he was impressed by their musical knowledge and was wowed by how talented they are vocally.

Kroeger explained to the publication: "The boys called me up and asked if I would be interested in jumping in the studio for a day or two, and I was very flattered. I thought, 'that is very cool'. They're really, really talented guys and they can really sing."

One Direction, meanwhile, picked up the Best British Artist Video at last night's BRIT Awards in London for their 'You and I' visuals, and Simon Cowell collected the trophy on their behalf as they're currently on tour in Japan.
