Driskill denies Perez Hilton rumor
After cewebrity gossip Perez Hilton wrote than Van Morrison was blacklisted from the Driskill after allegedly throwing a room service tray at the delivery person because the order was wrong, hotel managing director John Spomer issued a statement that said the incident never happened.
“In regards to a blog posting regarding The Driskill Hotel and one of our recent guests, please be aware that Mr. Van Morrison has not been banned from our hotel,” Spomer said in an email.
“The person responsible for disseminating this information has not spoken with, nor otherwise contacted, any member of The Driskill’s management team and did not verify the accuracy of the information. The incident mentioned in the blog absolutely did not occur. Throughout his stay, Mr. Morrison, as well as members of his party, treated our staff with the utmost professional courtesy and respect. We look forward to the opportunity of hosting him again in the future.”
