Amy MacDonald "shocked" by T stabbing

Amy MacDonald has voiced her disgust at the T In The Park stabbing which left a man fighting for his life.

The Scottish singer, best known for her song 'This Is The Life', admitted that she was shocked by the incident, which marred the music festival yesterday.

"It is absolutely shocking. It shouldn't have happened. No one should be carrying knives, it is a stupid thing to do," MacDonald said. "It is terrible it happened here because people come to have a good time and enjoy themselves."

She continued: "You hear news stories and it seems to be happening everywhere. But people can sort out problems without resorting to using a knife. It is just a horrible thing to have happened."

Other performers at the festival also condemned the attack, which was yesterday described as "horrific" by police investigating the matter.

Bowling For Soup's guitarist Chris Burney said: "I think it is an absolutely terrible thing to do. A real man doesn't have to resort to using a knife to solve their problems."

Jimmy Uine, from New York band Mindless Self Indulgence, added: "We come from America and do not expect anything like this to happen in Scotland. Knives are terrible."
