The odd thing - in his next concert he's playing a Stradivarius someone loaned him.

I'm not sure I'd loan out my "spare Stradivari" to someone who has a track record of clumsiness!

Hey Mike I wonder what sort of case the poor guy had it in? If I had a milion dollar strad I'd be sure the case I kept it in was earthquake, fire and bullet-proof!

"the David Beckham of the classical scene"

"tripped while carrying his 18th century violin as he was leaving London's Barbican Hall after a performance, smashing it to bits."

Is more proof needed of his celebrity likeness?
