MORRISSEY WALKS OFF STAGE IN ANTI-MEAT PROTEST
British rocker MORRISSEY halted his performance at California's Coachella music festival on Friday (17Apr09) to protest against members of the audience who were eating meat.
The former Smiths frontman, a staunch vegetarian, was disgusted by the smell of barbecued meat wafting over the crowd at the Indio, California event.
And halfway through his set, the star stopped mid-song and walked off stage, telling the audience, "I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it's human."
A few minutes later the star returned and re-started his performance, adding, "The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn't bear it."
