Babybird Mock Morrissey's Echo Arena Drink Cup Incident

November 13, 2009
Babybird Mock Morrissey's Echo Arena Drink Cup IncidentSheffield indie veterans Babybird mocked Morrissey at their show at the Hoxton Bar & Grill in London last night.

Frontman Stephen Jones jokingly threatened to storm off stage, aping Morrissey at the Echo Arena, after drummer Robert Gregory threw a plastic pint cup at his head.

According to NME.com, Jones said shortly before 'The Way You Are': “I want to dedicate this next song to Morrissey who has a glass tattoed on the side of his head.”

From the back of the stage Gregory then launched a missile at Jones' head. The singer remarked: “That’s it, I’m leaving the stage, I’ve got a broken fingernail.”

There was a huge press presence at the show as it was rumoured that Johnny Depp would perform with the band, but unfortunately failed to show.

Long-term Babybird fan Depp makes a brief appearance on the band's upcoming fifth studio album 'Ex-Maniac'.
