Always one to speak his mind  (without thinking about the consequences) Morrissey has caused controversy with stage comments on the Falklands row.

The former Smiths star, who attracted criticism last year when he compared the recent Norway massacre to the actions of fast food chains, made his band where t-shirts branding the slogan ''WE HATE WILLIAM AND KATE' during his recent Argentina show.

He wasn't finished there. Morrissey repeated earlier controversial remarks to Argentine fans that the Falkland Islands were theirs.

Speaking to the crowd, he said: We all know that the Malvinas [Falklands] are Argentina's,

'The [British] government, the governments, never listen to the people, to their pain,' he said.

The 30th anniversary of the start of the Falklands War, which claimed the lives of 649 Argentine and 255 British men and women, will take place on April 2.
