LEE ‘SCRATCH’ PERRY’S ‘SECRET LABORATORY’ DESTROYED IN FIRE
“Something very very sad happened”
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry has just posted a statement to his fans on Facebook, explaining that a fire caused by a candle which he forgot to put out has destroyed his ‘whole life collections’.
‘Arts, my magic hats, my magic boots, all my crazy show outfits and costumes: king, pope, general, magician... All my electronics and studio equipment and my magic mic, books, musik, CDs... Everything gone!!!!”
‘My whole secret laboratory burned out', the eccentric dub producer has written.
He has also invited fans to send him outfits: ‘To my angels that always give me perfect things: If you have made something for me to bring it to the show when I’m in your area, it would be super if you send that to me in advance by post so I can have it before I start with shows in March, because now I’m going to Jamaika and will not have the time to look or make special outfits.’
‘I am so sad and my wife is so mad.'
