Morrissey demanded a meat ban for the backstage catering at last week's O2 Wireless Festival.

The vegetarian singer, who headlined the second day of the Hyde Park bash, also put up 'Meat Is Murder' posters around VIP areas, according to Teletext.

A source said: "Liverpool band The Rascals lived up to their name and defaced the poster nearest Moz's enclosure so it read 'Meat is boss', and drew a load of burgers on it!"

Morrissey mocked Kylie Minogue during his appearance, sarcastically remarking that he was "absolutely thrilled to death" that she had received an OBE for services to music.
