Armstrong made the comments via his Instagram account this afternoon (May 8), posting a picture of Psy alongside the caption: “This dude is the herpes of music. Once you think it’s gone, it comes back. #herpes #flareup #pleasegoaway”. Armstrong is a frequent user of Instagram but has rarely used it to pass comment on other musicians, preferring instead to share pictures of his bandmates and on the road updates. nme.

 
So by herpes, does Armstrong mean PSY’s music burns, itches and keeps on coming back? Might as well be a compliment..
