Rufus Wainwright: 'I Was In Judy Garland Hell'....

American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright feared for his sanity towards the end of his Judy Garland tribute tour - because he was sick of hearing the diva's hits.Wainwright - who famously packed out New York's Carnegie Hall in 2006 with a performance of the iconic star's best-loved songs - went on to perform the show, in full Garland costume, at a string of venues around the world, as well as releasing a CD and Dvd of the concerts.Now he admits he's relieved to have returned to performing his own material.He says, "It did become almost like a Terry Gilliam movie, like Brazil."I'd be placed in this torture chamber where I'd have to sing Judy Garland songs for 20 years non-stop, it was getting surreal.".
