The UK woke up this morning to find itself no longer part of the European Union after 51.9% of the UK voted for Leave. For many people this came as a great shock and will no doubt have many consequences for the music business.
The music business has had plenty to say to Music Week about it, but the result also sparked many musicians and celebrities to take to their Twitters and let the world know their views on the matter. With talk of bent bananas, devastation and moving to Mars alongside David Bowie here is a selection of some of our favourite musicians’ tweets…
