It would appear that the drugs don’t work for former Verve front man Richard Ashcroft who stormed off stage one song into his set at the Splendour In The Grass festival last night (Sunday). Apparently Ashcroft was unhappy with the small crowd there for his set, lashing out at organisers after finding himself up against Empire of the Sun and The Pixies on other stages. Headlining the GW McLennan tent at the festival, he stopped his bittersweet symphony midway through the second song, telling the small and startled crowd that he might as well go and watch the Pixies rather than completing his set. Tricky Dicky then apparently threw down his tambourine and stormed off to a waiting car.
