There were scenes of hysteria in Cabot Circus yesterday as teen bopping hip-hop Lord Tinchy Stryder descended on the popular shopping destination as part of a nationwide publicity stunt.But eyewitness reports have discovered that his stunt double Pinchy Spyder was indeed the real star of the show. Pinchy, who started his showbiz career as a backing dancer for Craig David, was drafted in to act on Tinchy's behalf, a common solution in situations that are classed as hazardous or life threatening to the actual Tinchy Stryder.
Bristol Fashun sources have identified "funny goings on" in Tinchy Towers, with risk assessors performing a site recce early last week. In a Bristol Fashun exclusive, we can reveal concerns that gave Tinchy's record label, Island Records, no choice but to abort use of actual Tinchy Stryder.
Although the actual cause for concern cannot be determined, the course of action taken was to introduce an apparent hologram of actual Tinchy Stryder to ensure a performance of recordings from the artists could be heard by the 21,000 fans expected to attend.
Pinchy Spyder would then mingle with the crowds to offer a realistic point of contact with the audience, signing autographs and pouting for the press.
As technology progresses, this style of public performance is due to increase, for living and dead stars alike. Sony Music Entertainment are investigating ways to produce a hologram performance from The King of Pop, Michael Jackson. "It Was It" is rumoured to take place in 2010 at the o2 Arena in London.
Meanwhile we didn't ask for Tinchy Stryder, Pinchy Spyder, Island Records or Cabot Circus to comment. So they didn't.
