Michael Moonwalks As Cocker Clears The Stage
Something always seems to happen when Michael Jackson takes the stage. Either he collapses, gets set afire or gets engulfed by the screams of his fans.
On Monday in London, three of those fans were nearly consumed by fiery British rocker Jarvis Cocker. According to one report, Cocker, lead singer of the group Pulp, jumped onstage during a Jackson concert and knocked down the trio.
Cocker denies all, even though one fan was said to have a bloody ear.
And, of course, this is the same Cocker who not only was arrested during Britain’s version of the Grammy Awards but who was quoted before Sunday’s concert as saying that he liked awards shows because “you… get really drunk and show yourself up - which is always something I enjoy doing.”
