Badly Drawn Boy rants at fan at gig

Badly Drawn Boy lost his temper at a gig over the weekend after a heckler in the crowd criticised his performance.

The singer - real name Damon Gough - was playing at the Northampton Music Festival in Northampton on Sunday when a woman in the crowd yelled at the star, "You're s**t!"

Footage of the gig, posted on YouTube.com, shows the rocker angrily throw a harmonica brace into the crowd.

He then explained his outburst and revealed he is mourning the death of a loved one, telling the audience, "Look I just had a relative of mine die the other day," before cursing at the heckler and continuing his set.

The star has previously come under fire for his onstage antics and was forced to apologise to fans in 2010 following a shambolic set in Los Angeles which ended in him walking off stage after just four songs.

oooh. hissy fit. If people are paying for a performance you are obliged to deliver the best you can. No excuses. We don't care for your personal losses - we pay to hear your music. You should refund everyone for not keeping to your contract.
