A BOOK signing in Liverpool by Britain’s only matador has been cancelled because of animal rights campaigning.
Waterstone’s decided to shelve Frank Evans’s scheduled appearances at their stores after receiving letters which said the events would glamorise the “cruel, violent spectacle” of bullfighting.
Mr Evans, 67, from Salford, Greater Manchester, said the store’s staff also received threats because of his planned appearances.
The bullfighter, who has a large Spanish following and is known as “El Ingles” in the ring, said: “I am not angry at Waterstone’s. I do not want the store’s staff to be in danger.”
He was due in Liverpool on September 16.
A spokesman said: “Refunds will be given.”
