This tour is beginning to sound like a Coronation Street or even worse Eastenders script!!!!
I think you may have been replying to my earlier comment gvox, I was the one who commented earlier about the Liverpool incident and compared it to Bono getting drenched at Slane during "All I Want Is You", I think the two incidents are quit different alright, but I think Bono's situation was worse, Morrissey didn't get hit by a bottle, I'm fairly sure this has been proven over on the Morrissey Solo forums, It was a light plastic cup of beer which didnt seem to have been thrown too hard, and from what I could make out from the audience shot video on YouTube the cup seemed to lightly bounce off the top of his head, I'm sure the worst part of it for him was been wet from the beer thats obiviously going to be uncomfortable to perform in for the rest of the gig, also I think it was a case of rage and disgust that prevented him from coming back out and finishing the gig, He made light of the incident at his next gig in Holland two days later, if he had been physically hurt I don't think he would have passed it off as a joke, the Bono incident at Slane I think was worse and probably more uncomfortable, Bono was playing an outdoor gig for a start in a huge field (Slane) in Autmune in Ireland not the warmest of settings to get drenched, and drenched he did get, yes the cup didn't hit him but most of the contents did it was clear to see water or most probably Beer dripping from Bono's face, jacket and hair he was soaked and I thought he dealt with it very well, just turning to the section of the audience from where the beer came and jokingly saying whilst smilling "all I fucking want is you man", I'm sure after the song Bono didn't make a big deal he probably just made his way to the back of the stage beside the amps and got his towel and dried himself off, for Morrissey this wouldn't work of course because as we all know Morrissey is very vain and image conscious, but IMO he should have made his way to his dressing room washed his face and hair or even have a shower if needs be (he didn't seem to be too wet) and then change his clothes and return to the stage as quickly as possible, the offender who threw the cup was removed from the audience fairly soon after Moz walked off , if Moz had have went to his dressing room and freshend up by the time he would be returning the offender would have been well removed and the rest of the audience would be ready for the concert to resume, I agree the behavour of the cup thrower was horrid and no perfromer should have to put up with such carry on, but in this case I think Morrissey should have finished the gig, he was not seriously hurt and I don't think it was fair to let down his audience because of one bad apple!
I'm sorry, but is anything in that post half serious?
The report quoted earlier and the credible ones I've read since stated that he was hit in the eye. The jury's still out on whether that was a bottle (which is just as hard as glass) or a cup. This has nothing to do with the contents of the bottle, being wet, being uncomfortable, or even how much it should or should not have hurt him. He was hit with a projectile, period. I watched the video, it wasn't a graze, it was a full on hit, that's why the bottle stopped it's trajectory and it pretty much landed beside him. Another thing about the video, cups don't flip end over end like the way that object did. It's definitely a bottle.
Bono was hit by a splash of water from the side/back, not full on in the front. ALSO...on that date, the temperature was 20 degrees celcius according to historical figures. That's not cold, in fact it set a record for high temperature.
Getting hit by a bit of water is one thing. Getting hit in the eye by a projectile is another, completely.
