Karen O says Maps video tears were real

Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O says the tears she shed in the 'Maps' video in 2003 were real, after her then boyfriend Angus Andrew was late to the shoot.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs star Karen O has admitted that the tears she shed in the video promo for 'Maps' were real ones. The singer was upset during the 2003 shoot because her then boyfriend, Liars frontman Angus Andrew, had been supposed to be there, and wasn't. She says: "They were real tears. My boyfriend at the time was supposed to come to the shoot - he was three hours late and I was just about to leave for tour. I didn't think he was even going to come and this was the song that was written for him. He eventually showed up and I got myself in a real emotional state".
