Peter Gabriel has staged a protest for artistic integrity against the organisers of the 2009 Oscars by threatening to pull out of the ceremony if they carry out their threat to cut the performance of his nominated song to just 65 seconds.
The artistically inspired campaigner and former member of Genesis, is outraged at the proposed cut and is reported to be concerned that it undermines the integrity of his song from Wall•e, the animated blockbuster.
Sources close to the Oscars organisation are reporting that the committee are in turmoil at the potential loss of such a dramatic moment, adding that "Not hearing Peter sing while film plays of that little robot fella sweeping up could ruin the gravitas of whole ceremony".
Lord Mesmo is reported to be monitoring the situation and has reportedly offered archive footage of Tommy Steele singing "Little White Bull" if no compromise is found.
