There he was, trying to entertain fans in Liverpool, when someone in the crowd threw a (filled) plastic bottle at Morrissey, donking him on the head and sending the singer into a “hissey fit.” A few minutes after leaving the stage, the just-recovered Morrissey shut down the rest of the show.

What kind of asshole would do something like that?!
(Who am I talking about? Morrissey or the bottle thrower? You decide!)
A Grue
Both?
Morrissey IS a big douche bag…

Any excuse to throw a hissy fit. Any other person would point a finger and get the asshole thrown out. Maybe the bottle thrower had been to a previous Morrissey concert and was returning the favor.

What bullshit. What, singers should tolerate bodily injury? It’s okay to throw things as long as you don’t aim for the face? And do you actually have to be gay for your reaction to be termed a “hissy fit”?
It’s a ridiculous double standard. Here in New York, if you conked a bus driver on the head with a soda bottle, you’d be charged with a felony. In fact, I’m guessing you’d also get sued, and the victim would head straight for the nearest hospital. But a homosexual entertainer walks offstage and all of a sudden it’s Girlfriend, puh-leeze!?

I agree with RomanHanz. Entertainers are bound to face a range of reactions from their audiences, but I can’t see why they should be expected to face potential bodily injury lightheartedly.

Those skanks. I love Morrissey.

I just hope the guy that threw the bottle got his ass kicked every step of the way out of the venue.
It’s ok if you don’t get Morrissey…not everyone is smart enough to understand his level of genius.

Dubwise
that’s entertainment!
i kid…
i think his walking off is completely justified…he doesnt put up with much at his shows…about the only thing he puts up with are hot boys rushing the stage to hug on him…

Poor Morrissey,
Its becoming hazardous to his health to perform. Didn’t he pull a Bob Dole and tumble of the stage a few weeks ago?

@susanc
May I suggest you pull a Kurt Cobain and run headfirst into the nearest speeding bullet?

Years ago I saw Joe Jackson live in a small venue. The crowd was loud and “not paying attention,” I suppose. Jackson stopped playing, stopped the band, and stood there in silence for a minute or so and then told the crowd to “shut the fuck up”. lol It was great! The crowd shut up and he went back to an amazing performance. So… I’m with Morrissey on this one. Buying a ticket doesn’t include the right to throw shit at the performers. (unless, of course, you bought a ticket to a Maggie Gallagher speech)
