Jordan then hit out at Barnes via Twitter, saying: "Stage selfies = look at me look at me I didn't get enough attention as a kid and can't handle five people here getting more attention than me."

Barnes later apologised to the band on their Facebook page. He wrote: "Hey dudes, sorry for causing such an uproar about this selfie thing. I just didn't know if I would get the chance to get a picture with Keith.

"You're my favourite lyricist and you guys are from my home town, and I love your music. I see how it was selfish on my part. I wouldn't want it to become a trend. All apologies."
