San Francisco too cold for Siouxsie

Punk veteran Siouxsie Sioux threw a tantrum at a gig in San Francisco because the air-conditioning was too cold.

Just four songs into her set at the Warfield Theatre, she yelled at management to immediately turn off the air conditioning.

But, after a few moments with the air conditioning still blasting cold air into venue she set down her microphone and stormed off.

"Alright, I'm off," she told the sold-out crowd.

A few minutes later, the 47-year-old singer returned and the band played their 1983 cover of The Beatles' Dear Prudence.

But, when the song finished Siouxsie, wearing a black kimono and feathered headdress walked off again.

"I'm sorry. I can't f..king do this. I'm freezing," she said this time followed by her entire band.

After some persuading backstage by her drummer and husband Budgie to "do it for the fans," Siouxsie took the stage for a third time.

"I swear, if it wasn't for you," said Siouxsie. "This is the last time we play this f***king s***hole."

Despite the interruptions, fans generally enjoyed the two hour show, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
