On top of losing the continued presence of their prophet,
King Peter of Dohertysville, it seems that there is a financial fallout for some of Pete's faithful disciples. One chump is reportedly down
£70,000.
Who are these people for fuck's sake?
One 'event organiser' is said to be down 70 big ones from Pete's imprisonment. But you would have thought if you were any sort of organiser you might have a contingency for your walking disaster of your star act - hanging onto his life and liberty by a mere (cocaine-laced) cat's whisker as it was - succumbing either to the long arm of the law or the long arm of the grim reaper before the big day.
A bitter promoter called Joe Lucas said:
"He's let us down. It's going to be a nightmare getting another headline name. We've spent a fortune on flyers, marketing and advertising with his name attached."
Serves you right, Mr Lucas. It's hardly as if you booked Cliff Richard is it? The only reason people turn up is to see how big he's going to fuck up, so you can't really blame him for fucking up.
