The View have issued a statement to fans following the fight that broke out on stage earlier this week.The incident occurred on Wednesday night (May 10), during the first night of the band’s long-awaited comeback tour. Taking to the stage at The Dead Institute venue in Manchester, the performance soon descended into chaos after the frontman, Kyle Falconer, threw a punch at bassist Kieren Webster.In fan-captured footage, which has since spread quickly across social media, Falconer appeared to punch the bassist in the face, before he is held back by his other bandmate and crew members.
He was also heard shouting “I’ll fucking kill you” at Webster.The show in Manchester was ultimately cut short, with the frontman declaring to the crowd that “the problem with” the band is that Webster “wants to sing the songs”. The event led to their scheduled show at the Oslo Hackney venue in London being postponed, and the fate of their other upcoming gigs hanging in the balance.Now, the Dundee trio have issued a statement to fans, describing the fight as a “brotherly bust-up” and confirming that they are still expected to proceed with all scheduled festival appearances.Sorry to the fans at our show in Manchester and everywhere else that we've upset – we had a brotherly bust-up that went too far, and we cannae wait to get back to touring in November and throughout the festival season with yous lot.

Naman Ramachandran “To Wong Foo The Musical,” based on 1995 film “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar,” will have its world premiere at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester, U.K. The film, which is now considered a cult classic, starred Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo, Stockard Channing, Robin Williams and Ru Paul.

When their car breaks down in Middle America, their lives, as well as those in the town, are turned upside down.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Over the past 15 years, Steve McQueen has become one of my favorite filmmakers. He’s made only a handful of features, but in almost every case he takes a subject of extraordinary magnitude (the 1971 IRA prison hunger strike in “Hunger,” the complex horrors of slavery in “12 Years a Slave,” the collision of gritty city politics and feminine revolt in “Widows,” the epochal crackdown on West Indian immigrants in London in “Mangrove”) and uses it to box open your heart and mind. And he does it all with a storytelling vibrance that’s at once heady and populist. So when it was announced that McQueen would be directing his first documentary feature, and that it would tackle the subject of the Holocaust, dealing with the victims of the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam (the city where McQueen now lives), my anticipation took the form of thinking: How, with a director of McQueen’s skill and imagination and gravity, could this be less than fascinating?
