Charlatan's music not to blame for gig sickness SHOCKER

Tim Burgess and his band of oddly longevous indie dullards have been cleared of causing a peculiar incident after nearly the entire crowd at one of their gigs became ill.

After the concert in Aberdeen last May, nearly 500 people fell ill, smitten with nausea, vomiting and the aches. This apparently wasn't due to Burgess' dying dog vocals, but a particularly virulent strain of what's known as winter vomiting disease, according to the results of an investigation published this week.

Apparently, one fan chucked up on the stairs of the venue. This released 30 million virus particles into the air, which were unwittingly hoovered up into the noses and gobs of the other attendees. With only 100 particles needed to be infectious, the crowd fell like corn before the scythe.

Eehehehe
