David Cassidy insults the Welsh!

CASSIDY'S SUICIDE JIBE



Singer David Cassidy insulted the Welsh at a concert in Cardiff, saying: "I don't know how you live here without slitting your wrists."

The ex-Partridge Family star, who became famous in the 1970s, also ridiculed the Welsh accent during his half-empty gig, The Sun has reported.

And the 54-year-old demanded silence for one of his songs during his last ever British tour.

The former pin-up even stopped playing I Think I Love You because fans were singing along.

13. SLB, it's just David Cassidy. It's not anyone important, after all.
Feel free to completely forget anything he ever says.

16. Come on, Terry. Totally overreacting at minor events
is what internet message boards were based on! I'm upholding a great tradition!

20. Oh, I know SLB. But I like getting bitchy about no talent has beens...
who make disparaging remarks about citizens of other countries.

And, may I say, based on that pic of his, I think he's had work done. I know a facelift when I see it!

18. Did David Cassidy say something?
:shrug:

I must have missed it.

I DO know, however, that Rick Astley once said "together forever, and never to part" which I believe was a paean to the unity of Great Britain.

15. What an egotistical pompous ass.
I know a guy who was a DJ at an oldies station in Nebraska during the early 90s. He met Cassidy and told me that he's "a fucking prick".

23. He needs to stay out of the sun
He's looking rather leathery in that photo. I saw him in a Daily Show piece a long time ago where he got really mad and stormed off when he realized that the fake reporter was mocking him.

30. Why don't you go have your skin stretched some more, David
and shut the hell up.

HA HA! The people got thelast word, though - half-empty gig! And the ones who were stupid enough to be there deserved to be insulted.

40. Yeah, the people of the Celtic fringe have manipulated those terms
and turned them into insults against bad-assed macho men. It's quite fitting, really.
