The press and lies again
David Bowie had a concert in Oslo yesterday, and someone threw a lollipop that hit him in his bad eye.
One of our tabloids had a front page photo of the lollipop hitting him narrow end in the eye, and the story said it was stuck between the eyeball and his eyelid.

Someone there said his parents had been at the concert, very close to the stage, and that it hadn't happened the way Dagbladet said. That the front page photo was manipulated! He said the lollipop had hit him fat end first, and then bounced to the floor.
I don't know what the truth is, but if this is true, it's pretty sensational
I accessed the online versions of our tabloids, looking for more info, and came upon the message board of the competing tabloid:
