Pop Myths then

Back on topic; is this real or apocryphal? Herman's Hermits front man Peter Noone was a reluctant flyer and didn't want to go on a promotional tour to the United States but was persuaded after heavy pressure from his management. They thought it would be a good idea upon his arrival at JFK airport to announce his name over the tannoy so he'd think he was a bigger star there than he actually was. The problem was, the tannoy announcer got his name completely wrong and the message came out thus: "Paging Peter No one. Could Peter No one come to the TWA information desk."

My 3 are:-

Bob Holness from Blockbusters played Sax on 'Baker Street'

Marc Almond OD'd in the 80's and had his stomach pumped and they found a pint of sperm in his stomach

Prince had ribs removed so he could suck his own kn0b!

What's your favourite?

Heard the same one but with Marilyn Manson substituted...

David Grant (of Fame Academy, err, fame) told me a story about Van Morrison. Supposedly, he took a CD back to the shop complaining that it wouldn't play. It turned out that he'd been using it on his record player.

I suspect that David grant was having some fun at my expense...

I heard that Van Morrison performed his whole set one time with his back to the audience.

I can go along with that. I find men who hang keys off their belts creepy!

When I saw him a few years ago now I wish he had!
