The Bodyguard star breaks silence following Manchester musical incident

Former Pussycat Doll singer and The Bodyguard musical star Melody Thornton has broken her silence over the disruption that occurred at Manchester's Palace Theatre during a performance of the show which took place - and was forced to stop early - on Good Friday.

The disturbance in question saw Melody, who is currently playing Rachel Marron in the hit musical, unable to finish the final track, I Will Always Love You as a result of several audience members stealing the limelight and singing their own version at the top of their lungs, despite the act of singing along having been banned from performances. This resulted in the show being halted before it was finished and police interfering removing two ticket holders wreaking havoc.

However, despite the scene and uproar caused within the musical community, Melody, 38, took to social media to say she had received "nothing but love" from the people of Manchester and supported the statement with a clip of her singing the famous hit.
