Ferdinand copy Bon Jovi wardrobe

Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi has accused Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand of stealing his style.

The Livin' On A Prayer hitmaker wore smart suits onstage during the 1980s, but has since opted for a more mature wardrobe.

But he is considering dusting off his old outfits after watching Franz Ferdinand shoot to fame wearing suits and ties.

He says: "I buy suits, mainly Hugo Boss, but they tend to stay in the closet. It's a b**ch.

"I just saw that Franz Ferdinand are wearing those tight satin bomber jackets and I thought, 'Hey, we had those back in the Eighties.'

"I may start wearing parachute pants and bandanas tied around my thighs again, though. Never say never."
