The TV chief was speaking out after the temperamental Mockney violinist – who topped the charts with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in the early Nineties – pulled out of last week’s awards after organisers refused to meet the 51-year-old’s demand to be backed onstage by glamorous female string quartet Bond. The source adds: “The classical music world has moved on since Nigel was at the top of his game and there are a host of younger, sexier stars who are a bigger draw.” ***GET MORE CELEBRITY GOSSIP NOW!*** |
