A drunk Davy Jones wasn’t monkeying around when he challenged an entire bar audience to fight him after giving an impromptu singing performance.
The ex lead singer of the Monkees was drunk, according to an eyewitness, when he had his public meltdown at the Edison Hotel bar in Sunbury, Pennsylvania on December 11.
Jones, 63, was with his new wife Jessica Pacheco, 32, when he surprised a crowd of about 30 by showing up with his band to sing at the bar, which is near his home.
But it quickly turned into a bizarre scene as Davy, holding a drink, began singing while looking like he was going to keel over, according to eyewitnesses.
He stopped his performance for no apparent reason, mid-song and began cursing the audience! One person who was there said, Davy wandered into the crowd and said, “F*** you. You look half dead. I’ll fight you outside you f****”
Incredibly, the band kept playing!
His wife, who had cheered him earlier, tried to take the microphone away from him and Davy ended up throwing it across the room.
Davy still tours and in recent years has harshly criticizd former Monkee bandmates Peter Tork, Mickey Dolenz and Mike Nesmith.
Oh, and for the record, he was in the middle of Daydream Believer when he lost it!
====================================
I think Peter Tork was the one real musician in the band.
Marcia Brady must be devastated.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!
Some of Davy’s retro favorites:
I’ve a Bad Liver
Lost Brain in Barfsville
Pleasant Valium Sunday
(I’m Not Here) Schleppin’ Stoned
And then two years later, he did. RIP Davy Jones. A fine entertainer, but like Whitney Houston, had his demons.
I totally forgot about that story! Poor Davy.
