Russell Brand, David Walliams and Jonathan Ross took to London’s Roundhouse’s stage on Friday night after Morrissey abandoned the gig because he lost his voice.
According to ol’ Russ on his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday the three comedians had gone to the show together and decided to get up partly to appease the baying crowd, and partly out of a shared passion for showing off.
Rather than being pleased that the announcement that Morrissey wasn’t able to come back on was given by arguably two of the country’s finest comedians (and Jonathan Ross) who were clearly willing to do some impromptu stand up, the crowd booed and pelted them with coins and bottles until they were ushered off the stage. After which, of course, there was no entertainment to be had and everyone had to go home.
Apparently Ross and Walliams got attacked outside the gig too.
Morrissey fans are mental.

It was nice to have my (always presumed) brilliance confirmed the other day by the discovery of a bloody marvellous mix CD I’d made a while ago then forgotten about. Here is the playlist:
- Have Love Will Travel – The Black Keys
Brilliant bluesy rock
- World We Live In – Rufus Wainwright
- Raindogs – Tom Waits
- Lay Lady Lay (Hard Rain live version) – Bob Dylan
This raucous live version is a completely different song to the studio version on Nashville Skyline
- I Drink – Charles Aznavour
In Bob Dylan’s words “a devastating drinking song”. Awesome lyrics on this rarity.
- Hey Man! Now You’re Really Living! – The Eels
- We Can Work It Out – Stevie Wonder
- The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
- Accidentally Like a Martyr – Warren Zevon
- Reckless – Tilly and the Wall
- Sons and Daughters – The Decemberists
- The Ship Song – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
- Such Great Heights – Iron and Wine
- Chelsea Hotel No. 2 – Leonard Cohen
“We are ugly but we have the music”
- Cotton Fields – The Beach Boys
- California Soul – Marlena Shaw
- Drift Away – Dobie Gray
- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea – Neutral Milk Hotel
