LONDON:

English singer Joss Stone is refusing to wear shoes on stage because she feels they cripple her feet. The 20-year old Stone rarely wears shoes on stage and admits that she is too clumsy to perform in heels, contactmusic.com reported. She said, “It’s nothing to do with being grounded and it’s nothing to do with a statement. I just don’t want to fall over. I love shoes and I think they’re sexy and gorgeous, but they hurt and you fall over a lot. I’m totally clumsy, especially when I’m on stage because you got to get into it and sometimes your whole body is involved so you can’t trust yourself to stay standing.”
