Morrissey Walks Offstage During Coachella Set

added 20 April 2009 at 13.52

Morrissey briefly left the stage during his Coachella set on Friday (April 17), complaining that the smell of cooking meat from the various food stalls around the festival was "making me sick". The co-author of the pro-vegetarian classic 'Meat Is Murder' walked offstage during the Smiths song 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others' at the enormo-fest in LA last weekend.

At one point, His Mozzness snorted "I smell burning flesh... and I hope it's human." But further complaints were followed by the brief flounce. He returned shortly afterwards to finish the show, complianing "The smell of burning animal flesh is making me sick."

Morrissey's set concluded with the classic 'How Soon Is Now', leaving another famous vegetarian, Sir Paul McCartney, to end Friday night's proceedings.

Last summer, a rumour circulated that Mozzer's Wireless show in Hyde Park would ban all meat-based fast food stalls, but this turned out to be untrue.

1. I hope that no flesh gets burned, mainly because I prefer to eat my hot dogs skinless.

2. "I smell burning flesh... and I hope it's human." If only it were Morrissey' flesh burning I'd be ecstatic.
