Morrissey ejects Hamburger from gig

Morrissey had a fan removed from a Hamburg gig after the man shouted an insult at him, following a joke the singer made about the city's name.

Morrissey had a fan thrown out of a gig in Hamburg on Tuesday after the audience member shouted an insult at him.

The incident happened after Morrissey suggested that people from Hamburg should be called 'Hamburgists', rather than 'Hamburgers', so to break their association with the popular meat delivery system the fiercely vegetarian singer hates so much. Weak joke supplied, he then played 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris'.

After finishing the song, Moz announced to the audience: "So, somebody shouted and told me to go and fuck myself". He then identified the man who had thrown the insult and asked him to explain himself. The man managed to say: "You made a joke about us and I..." before the singer launched into a tirade against him and had him thrown out by security.

As he was pulled out of the venue, the man shouted: "But I love you..." to which Morrissey responded: "Well, love me outside".

And because I love you, I have managed to piece the whole thing together via the medium of YouTube. Happy Friday:
