POPBITCH NEWS:
Pop punk is officially dead: Those poor Busted and McFly boys were flogging seats for their (ambitious?) O2 gig for £10. 😂

Occasionally — not that often admittedly, but occasionally — PBHQ is blessed with stories of slebs being surprisingly, well, nice. Like Mark Wright getting involved in an impromptu charity five-a-side match, or Keeley Hawes cleaning up all the tables in Pret.
This week, proto-punk god Jonathan Richman of Modern Lovers. He apparently never let his own fame and influence go to his head.
When Richman did a gig at Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush, he showed up with his own equipment, a cheap, tiny mixing desk he brought up on stage with him. Then he turned all the front monitors off before proceeding to do all his own sound engineering and stage checks.
Once he was done, he insisted that the staff on hand that night be paid anyway - so they just sat there and enjoyed the gig.
