Comedian Phill Jupitus has criticised David Byrne over claims that disabled fans were excluded from an Edinburgh performance, saying the situation had “effectively shat on a minority”. The dispute matters because it raises concerns about accessibility and equal access to live music events for disabled audience members.

The available article text identifies Byrne as having been accused of excluding disabled fans at the Edinburgh gig, but provides no further detail on the venue, the number of people affected, or Byrne’s response. Jupitus’s comments frame the alleged exclusion as a serious failure to accommodate a marginalised group.
