The Sun reports that the band were rehearsing the track on Thursday (December 9) at BBC studios, when a member of the watching audience, named as Oli Res-Horsely shouted out "How much crack have you had?"
Doherty then allegedly took offence at the remark, dived off the stage and "wrestled Oli to the ground." Security then arrived and pulled the two men apart. Oli was taken backstage and Doherty was allowed to complete his performance.
However TOTP producer Andi Peters decided
that having the band perform live would be too much of a liability and
banned the group from the studio, meaning producers were forced to use
footage taken from the rehearsals. [see full story for more]-

percentage points. [see full story for a lot more]- Click

Every day we will be posting a new Top 5 list from one of our writers, selected at random. At the conclusion we will reveal the master list. We also want to let you take part and will be accepting nominations for a readers choice list.
Today Scott Slapp gives us his Top 5 of 2004. (click the full story link to read his comments on the CDs and for related links for release and to submit your picks for the readers choice list - and see past days lists you may have missed!)
Scott Slapp's Top 5 of 2004:
1. Courtney Love -America's Sweetheart
2. Avril Lavigne - Under My Skin
3. Gene Simmons - ---hole
4. Ashlee Simpson - Autobiography
5. Busted - Busted
(Scott had the following disclaimer for
his list: I selected these titles as the best of the year because they
are the anti-releases of 2004. I wasn't old enough in 1990 but if I had
been, I would have selected Poison, Warrant and the Motley Crue's because
they had dragged music down to a point so far that it opened the door to
Nirvana to come along and kick popular music in the ass. The same goes
for this year. So here is to these amazingly bad CDs in hopes that they
bring us something cool in 2005!)
