Morrissey Goes Meatless At Staples Center (UPDATE)

February 25, 2013

(CELEBRITY) UPDATE: Contrary to earlier reports, Morrissey’s March concert at the Staples Center will be offering meat options to non-vegetarian patrons. The Los Angeles venue released a statement disputing Morrissey’s statement last Tuesday that his concert will only provide meatless options. “As we have done in the past, we are happy to create a menu with a greater variety of vegetarian items for our guests who prefer these types of options. We respect Morrissey’s lifestyle and his concern for the wishes of so many of his fans and are happy that we are able to honor his requests in this manner,” Staples Center officials said in a statement. “As Staples Center has previously coordinated on behalf of artists who have played the building, including Sir Paul MCCartney, all backstage catering will be 100 per cent meatless throughout the evening.” So, to cut a long story short, only backstage dishes will be purely vegetarian. But the good news is there will be an abundance of meat-free food concessions including vegan sloppy Joes, vegan sushi, as well as hummus and pita bread. — Global Animal
