Morrissey Ejects Fan From German Gig After F-Word Rant

He's already collapsed onstage in Swindon, walked out of a Liverpool show after only two songs after being hit on the head with a bottle and now Morrissey has had a fan thrown out of his show in Hamburg.

The singer's highly eventful European tour hit the German city on Nov. 17 for a gig at the CCH1 venue, and during the show a heckler was ejected at Morrissey's request. The aftermath of the incident was captured by a fan-shot video and uploaded to YouTube alongside a description of the clip which suggests that the incident was the result of comments Morrissey had made.

The singer is said to have "cracked a joke" about "Hamburgers," saying that they should be called "Hamburgists." Apparently a fan then reacted strongly to this by shouting "f--- you" at the singer. In the video Morrissey can then be seen responding by pointing at the man before addressing him through his microphone.

"Go. We don't need you, we don't need you," he says while directing the heckler to the venue's exits. He then adds: "In fact you can leave and you can f--- yourself. Go, go!" Another fan can then be heard shouting, "Well done Morrissey!"

Security guards then appear to seemingly deal with the fan while the former Smiths frontman crosses the stage to shake hands with other audience members. Once he's happy that the situation has been resolved his band then launch into a rendition of his old band's classic 'Ask.'

The tour continues in Munich in Friday (Nov. 20) before moving on to Dublin on Nov. 23. Morrissey then embarks on a short US tour beginning in Seattle on Nov. 29.

Morrissey. Loves to be a so called an enigma. Google this "Morrissey court bandmates money just like pieces of a lawnmower" if his former BAND members are called bits of a gardening implement then how on earth does he see his fans. ALTERNATIVE MUSIC FANS AND DEPRESSED STUDENTS EVERYWHERE AS FRANK ZAPPA SAID "were only in it for the money" as Morrissey proved when he tried to rip of his friends who toured and worked with him. DISGUSTING.

Have no clue who this guy is, I agree the fan should have been asked to leave, it's not necessary to shout obsenities, in fact it's quite childish, There's a time and a place for that language, and around other then your own friends it's not the the time or place. He was right up until he used the bomb himself, if he throws someone out for using it then he had no business using it himself so in my estimation they were both wrong.

Is it necessary to learn how to spell obscenities?
