Larry Love Kidney Failure Rumour

The official Alabama3 website posted out the following newsflash, together with an APB e-mail with the same text:-

Wanted: Larry Love Lookalike With 2 Kidneys

The Alabama State Penitentiary has today announced the sad news about Larry Love (Prisoner No 5 00-33). Over the last 48 hours Larry Love has been seen repeatedly by a local doctor concerning a catastophic failure of his kidneys. Speaking as a regular visitor and friend, Rantin Richie was reported as saying at an international press conference, "This tragdy is certain to spell the demise of the Alabama 3"

A fund has been set up in the hope of raising money for a kidney dialysis machine to save this misrable scumbag from any further discomfort. Kidney/Money donations and messages of sympathy to arrive no later than 6pm 29/07/02.

After hearing that Prisoner No 5 00-33 it not expected to survive more than 48 hours the prison Governor is said to be "overjoyed".

If this news was true then it would have been the saddest thing we have heard this year, and Virtual Festivals pulled out the stops to bring you more as we got to the bottom of what we sincerely hoped to be a great, big, black-humoured hoax.

Fortunately, whilst our trust in press officers has been occasionally tarnished over the years we were reassured to learn from the nice lady at the record company that this is most likely just a teaser in advance of the much awaited sequel to their album La Peste. We've heard a few new tracks at the Fleadh and Glastonbury, and if any of them are anything to go by then nobody will be dissapointed.

Fingers crossed for Larry anyway.
