Morrissey mocked popstar Kylie Minogue during his appearance at the O2 Wireless Festival.

The former Smiths frontman sarcastically remarked that he was "absolutely thrilled to death" about Minogue's OBE honour for services to music.

"I'm sure you'll agree, it was completely deserved," he continued.

The vegetarian indie icon, who played classic Smiths singles 'Ask' and 'How Soon Is Now' along with solo tracks at the Hyde Park gig, also slammed George W. Bush and criticised meat eaters after catching the smell of burgers from the crowd.
