007 star George Lazenby has been axed from a concert tour amid accusations he made "unacceptable" comments on stage. Lazenby was taking part in a production called The Music of James Bond, but now he has been dropped by the organiser over the controversy.
Concertworks, the company behind the show, said Lazenby would not appear on the tour's Melbourne leg following his comments during a performance on Saturday in Perth. “Concertworks is extremely saddened and disappointed by George Lazenby’s language, comments and recollections during The Music of James Bond concert at the Perth Concert Hall on Saturday 10 September,” a statement said.
“They do not reflect the views of Concertworks. On behalf of Concertworks, we sincerely apologise to the audience, performers, conductor, WASO and the Perth Concert Hall.
