Apparently he has threatend to kill himself on stage on Oct 31st
next year taking as many of the audience with hime as possible.
I find this quite interesting relating to cencorship - after all if
he did so would he be guilty of murder, or manslaughter? If it
was known in advance he was going to chuck crap at people, or try
to kill them & they turned up, can they complain.
Could they sue him if he didn't kill himself? :-)
And more importantly would it be a loss to the world? Just think -
a great artist like that commiting suicide :-)
