A Queen tribute band has apologised after a band member wore a T-Shirt with the Sun newspaper's logo on it in Liverpool.

It was worn by their bassist at the Empire last night.

A number of audience members walked out.

On twitter, the band's front man Gary Mullen said they were completely unaware it would cause offence and they are devastated to have made such an oversight.

People in the city famously boycotted the Sun after it printed lies about Hillsborough - in which, under the headline "The Truth", Liverpool fans were blamed for the disaster and other untrue slurs made about supporters.
