โ€œWe would have been overjoyed if that many people actually turned up.โ€

Remember Threatin? Earlier this year, this guy and his band played a European tour to... basically nobody. He'd faked having a successful US career, record deal, etc. and persuaded a handful of session musicians to tour with him to venues to whom he'd promised that a significant number of tickets had sold in advance. And it was all a lie.

The Beeb managed to secure an interview with him and he's now claiming that this was his plan all along. I don't buy it, but maybe. In any case, it's an interesting glimpse behind the curtain and into the mind of this strange, strange man.
