Shane Warne’s comfort with controversy has made him a ripe target for tabloids and talkback – but the production of a musical based on his life and exploits has got the Australian King of spin into a twist.
Shane Warne - The Musical is the brain child of Eddie Perfect, a Melbourne comedian and songwriter, but as far as pot shots go, Shane’s had a gutful with this one.
"I have had 13 unauthorised biographies done in my life and the first one I read was completely wrong. You should have permission off anyone to write about their life." He told The Sun newspaper.
The musical features a range of numbers taking a close look at Warne’s controversial private life including ‘What an SMS I’m in’, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and ‘Take The Pill’.
LIVENEWS.com.au contacted production company Token Events, who said that they were “focusing on promoting the musical ahead of our Dec 10 premiere”, and that Perfect would not be making a comment in regard to Warne’s statements.
