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, it’s 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 it’s still as soul-crushing a vocation as any other. As there would be in any profession, there’s bound to be certain percentage of rock stars that just plain suck at it.
