Flowers blasts Kanye

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has slammed Kanye West, declaring the rapper's inflated ego "makes me ill".

The Las Vegas rocker, 24, was a huge fan of the Gold Digger hitmaker, until he discovered West's attitude.

Flowers says: "He makes me ill.

"I wanted to love him so much when he first came out. He has this sweet voice, and there's a cuteness to it.

"And then you see him in interviews and he's like a lion. It just ruined the whole package for me."
