Singer David Cassidy insulted the Welsh at a concert in Cardiff, saying: "I don't know how you live here without slitting your wrists."

The ex-Partridge Family star, who became famous in the 1970s, also ridiculed the Welsh accent during his half-empty gig, The Sun has reported.

And the 54-year-old demanded silence for one of his songs during his last ever British tour.

The former pin-up even stopped playing I Think I Love You because fans were singing along.

When fans shouted, 'We love you,' he replied: "I can't listen to you and think and sing."

Caroline Tems, 46, was at the Cardiff International Arena concert.

She told The Sun: "Some women shouted and he kept saying, 'What the hell did you say? I can't understand you,'."

A spokeswoman for Cassidy said: "The weather was getting to him and he was exhausted."

Maybe he's just a Manics fan.

Does that mean he'll disappear next to a bridge next?

One can hope.

David, dude, put the crackpipe DOWN.

The rest of the Partridges reunite and release an album called Shag Haircuts Must Go...

TS: David Cassidy vs Michael Sembello

I don't see Cassidy cornholing the world any time soon, so.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Cardiff. That's where Budgie is from.

Can't they get John Cale to hold him while Tom Jones kicks him in the nuts? I might pay money to see that.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

*Might* pay money? My good man, the question is HOW MUCH money!

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Depends on how much is left from the spree. The spree that would induce me to pay money to admire the above spectacle.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you could make more money if you let people do the kicking.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Or hold him down and get some Welsh Methodist choir to sing at him until his head imploded.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I think if you people keep making comments like this...I am going to have to end this thread.

― David Cassidy (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Throw Shirley Bassey into the singathon and the guy's fucked, and rightly so. Sap.

I think Reuben Kincaid should put this together. This could be big.

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Danny might like a shot at him too.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

It might be more efficient to make a list of people who wouldn't take a shot at David Cassidy.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

this story makes me like him more

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

But you'd still totally punch him in the gut if someone held him, right?

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Next time I see David Cassidy, I'm going to kick him in the teeth.

Cathy is bold!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I'm a quarter Welsh, and a bit of a cymrophile. And I didn't like David Cassidy anyway.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm afraid David Cassidy is right. Given the choice between slitting my wrists or living for the rest of my life in Cardiff, I know which option I'd go for.

― daffy, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Slitting David Cassidy's wrists live on stage in Cardiff?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Cardiff isn't the best bit, really, although it's still brilliant. Maybe I'd think differently if I'd ever lived there. I want to live in Aberystwyth someday.
