Worst Festival Sets
Reading Festival in the 70s and 80s was largely a metal-fest to which non-headbangers ventured at their peril. In 1988, Meat Loaf was bombarded with bottles of urine and stopped his set to inquire: "You wanna rock 'n' roll, or you wanna throw stuff?" A cider flagon in the face supplied his answer, and he stormed off.
Welsh power balladeer Bonnie Tyler received the same Neanderthal treatment and, to her huge credit, pluckily persevered to the end of her set.
