THE AUTOMATIC - THE AUTOMATIC'S HASSELHOFF SHRINES

THE AUTOMATIC'S HASSELHOFF SHRINES

British rockers THE AUTOMATIC have an unusual request on their backstage rider - they insist concert venues build a shrine to DAVID HASSELHOFF in their dressing room. The group, who recently scored a massive UK hit with their song MONSTER, are huge fans of the BAYWATCH actor. Frontman ROBIN HAWKINS explains, "We ask for a shrine to David Hasselhoff in our rider and people are taking us seriously. "I would like to meet him and tell him he is a role model for us and to look after himself. "Bristol Academy (in England) did a fantastic job on the Hoff front. They draped a leopard skin over a table and had action men posters on the wall. It was really impressive."
