Calvin Harris Mourns Rooster ‘Smokey’ Killed by Neighbour’s Dogs

He turned to Instagram to accuse his neighbours’ dogs of murder and said he was “absolutely gutted”; no legal or animal-welfare response has been announced.

Overview

  • On August 12, Harris revealed that his beloved cockerel Smokey was “murdered by the idiot neighbours’ grimey dogs” after raising him from a chick.
  • The photo he used for the tribute dates back to May, when Smokey featured in a promotion for his single “Blessings.”
  • News of Smokey’s death follows weeks after Harris and his wife Vick Hope welcomed their son Micah on July 20.
  • Harris’s rural lifestyle extends across his 138-acre Terra Masia estate in Ibiza and his Cotswolds holdings, where he keeps livestock.
  • Neither Harris nor his representatives have said if they will pursue legal action, and the neighbours have not publicly responded.
