Call off the search! Coachella's flying pig has been found - although not quite safe and sound. As reported in yesterday's Daily, the festival were offering $10,000 and access to the festival for life to anyone who could return the rather large inflatable pig which appeared as part of Roger Waters' headline set at the festival last weekend, before breaking loose and floating off into the Californian sky.
Pieces of the pig were found in the gardens of two families in the city of La Quinta, California. Susan Stoltz found part of the pig in her drive on Monday, but did not know what they were until she read about it in the local paper. "My kids are going to think I'm so cool," she said. A nearby resident, Judy Rimmer, said she also found part of the pig covering a plant in her front garden. Both families have said that they will split the reward equally between them.
Although the pig broke its moorings and floated away into the night during Roger Waters' performance of Pink Floyd song 'Pigs On The Wing', Coachella spokeswoman Marcee Rondan explained: "It wasn't really supposed to happen that way".
