Canadian singer absolves venue over shock

A Canadian musician who was ‘electrocuted’ as she performed at a prominent Dublin theatre has absolved the venue of any blame for technical issues that plagued her set on Tuesday night.

Electronic pop act Grimes — real name Claire Boucher — suffered a number of mishaps that interrupted the sold out show in the Olympia. In a since-deleted tweet, Grimes disclosed she was ‘electrocuted’ during the set.

She has since taken to social media to absolve the venue of blame. “Hey! just wanna apologize to the Olympia theatre that I originally thought they were responsible for the electrical issues at last nights show,” the artist posted on her Instagram page yesterday.
