Bob Dylan 'cleared of pizza prank'

Bob Dylan has officially been cleared of any involvement in a prank which saw $3,900 (£2,500) worth of pizzas ordered and uncollected from a New Jersey restaurant.

A man claiming to be part of the performer's crew ordered 178 extra-large gourmet pizzas last month, saying that they were for an after-show party following Dylan's gig in the state.

Workers at Antonio's Pizza in Amherst had been shown a backstage pass as ID and had worked until 5.30am to complete the order.

The man who made the order was identified via CCTV and had no affiliation with the singer-songwriter.

Amherst Bulletin says that the 46-year-old man has made a deal with the restaurant, although the amount he will repay it has not been disclosed.
