An indie band had to cut short a gig when the lead singer began downing whisky on stage and had to be carried off.
Easy Life frontman Murray Matravers knocked back five glasses of Scotch while he waited for an equipment fault to be fixed at Glasgow’s O2 Academy. But he ended up getting so drunk during what he told fans was a “whisky tasting experience” that he could not continue.
One audience member said: “Despite the technical fault being eventually fixed, Murray persisted in continuing his whisky tasting experience, even with his band attempting to play their next song. The experience left him so drunk he kept announcing the fact for a further few songs before being carried off-stage by bandmates.
