Morrissey avoids seeing audience trouble
MORRISSEY's tour bosses have ordered security employees to discreetly disperse any crowd trouble during his current tour of Scotland.
The former SMITHS frontman, who is planning shows in Edinburgh, Perth and Paisley, is keen to avoid witnessing any audience chaos - so his security staff have been told to handle troublesome crowdmembers out of his sight.
A source says, "He's got a whole bunch of stipulations.
"If there's any trouble in the pit, we've to make sure Morrissey doesn't see us sort it out."

OFF THE RECORD - The Daily Record
SECURITY staff who are under strict instruction to sort out crowd trouble at Morrissey's Scottish gigs without letting the man himself see it, have, after months of intensive training, come up with a solution. A hood.

*Note* - this has not been confirmed and seems very, very untrue as it was printed in one of those horrible round bubbles - that suggests rumour as opposed to relevance or respect.

The Worst Rock Stars Ever by Dr. David Thorpe, Something Awful
As countless episodes of Behind the Music, untold numbers of gritty rock and roll documentaries and thousands of pages of pretentious music magazine long-form road interviews have drilled into our brains time and time again, being a rock star is a job. A tough one, at that. Sure, its a job that involves quite a bit more traveling, fucking and drinking than any other job (with the possible exceptions of pilot or pirate), but its still as soul-crushing a vocation as any other. As there would be in any profession, theres bound to be certain percentage of rock stars that just plain suck at it.

From Jed Weitzman:
We are surprised to see that Ana Sanabia and the Benicassim Festival have seen fit to put their version of events up on their web site. We find this unprofessional and unhelpful.
Any of you who have read it should be aware that you are obviously hearing only one side of the story. It is clear that this is a reaction on their part to our official statement which we still stand by.
It is not our intention to get into details or into a minute by minute account of what happened. We have been advised against doing so because the events in question are the subject of an insurance claim and will almost certainly end up the subject of some kind of legal scrutiny or action.
One very important fact we can make absolutely and unequivocally clear is that Morrissey not playing at Benicassim had nothing whatsoever to do with money. Indeed, not playing there has cost him a very considerable sum. Morrissey has proved repeatedly over his long and illustrious career that his priorities are his music and his fans. He would never miss a concert unless he was absolutely unable to be there or unless it was impossible for him to perform for other insurmountable reasons.
Yours sincerely,
Jed Weitzman
Sanctuary Artist Management
