Meat Makes Morrissey Sick

• 21st Apr 2009

Morrissey walked off stage part way through his performance at Coachella at the weekend, because the smell of barbecued meat invaded his nostrils. The vegetarian former Smiths man stopped half way through a song, and told the audience, “I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it's human”, before making his way off stage. He returned after a few minutes to continue his performance, explaining: “The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn't bear it”.
