Davy Jones drunkenly challenged his audience to a fight after his performance?!? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SUNBURY — A report in a national supermarket tabloid that 1960s heartthrob Davy Jones drunkenly challenged his audience to a fight after a performance at a city hotel is true, according to Valley residents who witnessed the former Monkee’s outburst.

According to the Jan. 11 edition of the National Enquirer, Jones, a Beavertown resident, ended an impromptu singing performance with a challenge to fight the entire audience outside the Hotel Edison.

No one took the 5-foot-3, 65-year-old singer up on his invitation.

“He was ready to take anyone on,” said Steve Korek, a New Berlin resident who attended the Dec. 11 concert with friends. “Jones had the microphone in his hand and was walking towards the bar, cursing. His wife held the other end of the cord and tried to pull him back.”

It was all very comical, Korek said.

“I was wondering what set him off,” Korek said. “What made him so angry? Why was he cursing at someone at the bar? I don’t think anyone knows.”

Repeated telephone calls and e-mails to Jones, through his management company and his wife, Jessica Pacheco, were not returned Wednesday.

Jones was late for the start of the show, and by the time the performance began around 10:30 p.m., he was already drunk, Korek said.

“He couldn’t even stand up,” Korek said. “A few songs into the performance, I turned to a friend and said, ‘You think he’s going to fall over?’”

Jones was very sociable when the show began, said a Union County woman who asked to remain anonymous. “He sang a few songs, but he stumbled over the words.”

Earlier, Jones tried to sing “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” but stopped midway because he couldn’t remember all the reindeers in the song.

“The people at the bar were laughing at this point,” Korek said.

Then Jones started singing one of the Monkees’ biggest hits, “Daydream Believer.”

A minute into the tune, he just stopped singing and started shouting a series of expletives aimed at people in the audience and at Sunbury residents in general.

Edison Hotel manager Bradley A. Niemiec, who was working that night, confirmed the National Enquirer’s account of Jones’ behavior. But Niemiec declined to elaborate on any further details.

I'm sure some of these locals talking to the paper were some of the ones parting with him that night thinking they were pretty darn cool!

I am wondering if he is having marital problems already, if he got smashed before a show.

I can't believe Davy got that wasted. He better get himself together.

This isn't the first time the bottle has gotten the better of him. I remember, he got a DWI in 1994 or 1995. It was in the papers.

Frankly, I'm just embarrassed for the man at this point.
