Sounds like Elvis is hitting the bottle again.

I would suggest someone should hit him with a bottle.

He'll never have fans again after the way he shabbily treated them. Serves him right they all walked out in disgust.

"£25 tickets"

Even translated into American value it's been a long time since I've seen a ticket that cheap.

One of my childhood bud's is a full time road crew member for Elvis...I just fired this story off to him to get his reaction to it.

Outraged fans walked out in disgust last night after Elvis Costello arrived on stage several hours late because he was watching the football.

Was the football doing anything interesting?

Elvis had some great days, but he's always been a bit of a jerk.

Why would he do that when he's married to someone like Diana Krall?

"His reaction to this was to hurl abuse and play loudly, not very grown up, but more importantly, not very good.

Drugs and alcohol will do that to ya'.

I was thinking the same thing.

It was done on the cheap. I'd bet he'd get $50 from a US crowd of 20k if he started bashing George Bush.

I never cared for him much anyway. I'll take Frank Zappa or Ozzy Osbourne over him any day.

I saw him play at SXSW in March and he was flat, horrible and not having a good time.

To murder your fans is a crime, but will you still love Elvis?

He then shouted abuse at the audience and deliberately played badly.

That was typical of his performances in the Seventies.
