Johnny Marr has slammed British Airways for not giving his guitar back after axing his flight.<\/p>\n
The Smiths legend was supposed to fly to Gothenburg for Way Out West festival last week but claimed on Twitter that his flight was scrapped because of a technical fault.<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old added that he was waiting for his instruments to be returned as they\u2019d been checked in.<\/p>\n
But after an hour of a no-show on the luggage carousel, Marr hit Twitter, slamming the airline.<\/p>\n
The rocker wrote on August 11: \u2018Unfortunately British Airways have cancelled our flight to Gothenburg because of a fault with the plane.<\/p>\n
\u2018This means we can\u2019t get to our show at Way Out West festival tomorrow.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Marr added: \u2018My apologies to everyone who was excited to see us. See you next time.\u2019<\/p>\n
He also uploaded a photo of himself waiting at baggage claim and tweeted BA saying: \u2018@British_Airways any chance of my guitars yet? #releasethejags.\u2019<\/p>\n
A BA spokesperson replied: \u2018Hi Johnny, we\u2019re sorry to see that you\u2019re still waiting for your baggage.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u2018Hopefully, the airport team will be able to get these back to you as soon as possible. Steven.\u2019<\/p>\n
Marr fired back: \u2018Hello Steven. Thanks for your soothing message. So it\u2019s not enough that I have to cancel a show and let people down without British Airways offering to help us out, plus my crew losing the work. Then you lose our guitars? Nice. #releasethejags.\u2019<\/p>\n
Tagging airline Ryanair in another tweet, Marr then quipped: \u2018Anyone at Ryanair wanna come down and show British Airways how it\u2019s done?\u2019<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to poke fun at Marr\u2019s misery, with one saying: \u2018There Is A Flight And It Never Goes Out,\u2019 while another added, \u2018Looks like heaven knows you\u2019re all miserable now.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018When you are asking Ryanair to help out, you know you\u2019ve got problems,\u2019 someone else tweeted.<\/p>\n
