Default Rasmus booed of stage ... he he he

"STARS BOOED OFF BY FANS

Finnish band The Rasmus and rap megastar 50 Cent were were both forced to leave the Reading Festival stage early after being booed and pelted with missiles by music fans.

The Rasmus had scarcely begun their set when the crowd started throwing missiles at them.


And 50 Cent was booed by the crowd before he even stepped onstage.

Despite winning a clutch of Finnish Grammy awards, The Rasmus came unstuck in front of the mud-caked British audience and left after little more than one song.

One festival-goer said: "It was just kids chucking bottles and a bit of mud at them, it does sometimes happen.

"But obviously the crowd here today weren't really their crowd."

Boston group Dropkick Murphys then braved the main stage shortly afterwards to an ecstatic reception.

Mercury Music Prize nominee The Streets appeared on stage later. The 25-year-old Birmingham rapper topped the charts this summer with his string-driven single "Dry Your Eyes".



50 Cent: not welcomed


However, festival fury claimed its second victim when 50 Cent gave in to a relentless barrage of missiles and booing from the crowd.

Even before the lights went up for the main stage appearance fans started chanting and hurling abuse. "
