Dame Kiri Wins Flying Underwear Case

“Opera star Dame Kiri Te Kanawa has won a court case in Australia after she cancelled a 2005 tour because of fears she would be bombarded with underwear. The 63-year-old singer cancelled shows with Australian rock star John Farnham after seeing a concert DVD where he caught underwear thrown by fans. The concert promoter sued for A$2m (£815,000), claiming it had lost money on publicity costs and ticket sales. A judge rejected the claim saying no contract had been finalised.”
