Chew Lips: 'MJ death made me swear at family audience'

Chew Lips member Tigs has spoken to Gigwise about the moment she let loose with a tirade of foul language in front of a crowd of thousands after the death of Michael Jackson.

The singer revealed that due a heavy few nights and the death of the ‘Bad’ singer, she stumbled onto stage and swore multiple times to a family audience in Hyde Park in between tracks.

Band mate James revealed, “Tigs once used a hell of a lot of inappropriate language to a 4 o’clock family audience. You said f**k 13 times.”

Tigs added, “I think it was eight times but one of them was 'mother f***er'. 4pm in Hyde Park with 20 thousand people, I was absolutely hammered and hadn’t slept the night before and Michael Jackson died. I was very upset about that.”

“I still miss Michael. We’ve made our experiences sound terrible...” James continued.

James also revealed to Gigwise his festival antics, which included being, “ejected out of Madness’ dressing room; I was telling Suggs that he let himself down my doing the fish finger advert! I got carried out by these huge men. That was my proudest festival moment!”
