British rock legend Morrissey pulled out of plans for a concert in Iceland because the venue included a restaurant selling meat, his local promoter said Wednesday. "We saw quickly that Harpa (concert hall in Reykjavik) would be ideal, but could not book it because there is a restaurant there. We let it be known and stopped further negotiations because he (Morrissey) would not play in a house that sold meat," promoter Ragnheidur Hanson told AFP. The singer and militant vegetarian -- who had a hit album called Meat is Murder with his band The Smiths in the 1980s -- criticised the concert venue in a comment to the online fanzine True to You.
