The Dears’ Patrick Krief has sensationally hit out at Morrissey calling him a “sad sight.”
Kreif was referring to a recent support slot the band played with Mozza and feels that The Smiths legend’s pedantic behaviour was out of order.
He explains: “Opening for Morrissey was a sad sight man. Seeing what success can do to people is pretty painful. Being asked to leave the building when he’s crossing the corridor, or being told to not look directly at him made me sick.
“Sometimes it’s better to not meet people you admire. The whole band was pretty upset by the whole encounter. Luckily for me, I’m not a fan.”
He continued to Obscure Sound: “I can’t deal with Morrissey. I never liked his music. I do hear the occasional reference in The Dears, but man, I think people are just lazy, They need to put a label on things.”
