FLAMING LIPS - GRAMMY WINS CURE COYNE'S STOMACH ACHE

GRAMMY WINS CURE COYNE'S STOMACH ACHE

THE FLAMING LIPS star WAYNE COYNE was so overcome with emotion after learning of his group's two Grammy Award wins on Sunday (11FEB07) he threw up. Coyne and his bandmates were unable to attend the Grammys due to work commitments, but they picked up their second and third honours for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (AT WAR WITH THE MYSTICS) and Best Rock Instrumental Performance (THE WIZARD TURNS ON...). And the singer was so thrilled, he couldn't keep his feelings inside. He explains, "My stomach had been churning from eating too many Twizzlers and flying all day, and, upon winning, the excitement caused such a blast of chemical endorphins to rush through my system that I was immediately cured of my bad gut. "Let it be said that winning two Grammys in one night is kind of like psychic Pepto-Bismol."
