Astbury: I'm not trying to be Jim Morrison

Former Cult singer Ian Astbury has insisted he's not "replacing Jim Morrison" now he's taken the job as new frontman of The Doors - despite their similar singing voice and appearance.

Astbury is angry the press have criticised his decision to front the seminal sixties band, but argues he's bringing his own brand of leadership and style into the reformed band - and he resents claims he's attempting to emulate the iconic late singer.
