‘Brexit derangement syndrome’: ‘Posh little songbird’ has a ‘meltdown’ over musical’s failure
The “posh little songbird”, Rufus Wainwright, had a “meltdown” because his musical Opening Night bombed, according to GB News host Darren Grimes. The Canadian-American singer and songwriter defended his musical after it was forced to close early following mixed reviews. Reportedly, some audience members walked out mid-performance or during the interval. He said after Brexit, England entered into a “darker corridor where it is a little more narrow in its outlook and the vitriol”. “He called it ‘opening night’ – everyone that saw the damn thing wanted it to be the closing night,” Mr Grimes told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “This is like Trump derangement syndrome, this Brexit derangement syndrome – they blame Brexit for every little thing.”
