Placebo singer-guitarist Brian Molko is ruffling political feathers in Italy after lashing out against the country’s right-wing Prime Minster Giorgia Meloni, calling her a “fascist” and a “racist” during a packed concert near Turin. Prosecutors in Turin have now opened an investigation against the U.S.-born frontman of the British alt-rock band following his comments. Molko’s insults at Italy’s prime minister from the stage also included calling Meloni a piece of shit. Meloni leads the Brothers of Italy party, which has neo-fascist roots, and heads Italy’s most right-wing coalition government since World War II. She scored a victory last September while running on anti-immigration policies and plans to limit LGBTQ+ rights. #Queer Up The World View
