'Down With The Trumpets' hitmakers Rizzle Kicks have clarified their recent comments on former Disney starlet Miley Cyrus, admitting that they do think she is a great performer. 

Member Jordan explained that while there are certain things about her that he isn't fond of, he believes she is very talented: "I don’t not like her. It's just a couple of things I don’t agree about, but she’s still a great artist and you know, she's still doing her thing."

He also referred to his recent comments about her, in which he described her as a 'thong because she's an arse', and shed a little light on why he had said that:

"The only reason I said arse, 'she’s an arse' was because of the Sinead O’Connor thing. I thought she was a little bit dismissive and quite rude actually, especially in terms of mental health. She was quite insensitive."

At the end of last month, the lads confirmed details of their forthcoming headlining tour of the UK, which is due to kick off on February 7 in Lincoln at the Engine Shed and will end on March 7 at the Brighton Centre. Tickets for the dates are all on sale now.
