Venue staff receive death threats for axing performer's stand-up gig for racist comments he made about England footballers
Andrew Lawrence had several performances cancelled after tweets he sent about England footballers
The Concorde in Eastleigh, Hampshire, called off Andrew Lawrence's show after he tweeted the offensive remarks in the wake of the Euro 2020 final on Sunday. "You will be financially ruined," said the email, which was signed off by a person identifying themselves only as "Gordon".It claimed the threats were justified because the hotel and gig venue had been "cowardly" and "joined a witch hunt to ruin a man's career".
A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman confirmed the force had received reports of malicious communications and threats to kill members of staff.
