Au festival Bloodstock Open Air, Paul Allen a du être hospitalisé après qu'un pauvre type lui ait balancé un projectile solide dans le dos, sur la colonne vertébrale.
Il y en a qui ne sont pas étouffés par le courage.Les autres membres du groupe ont aussi été visés plusieurs fois pendant le concert, sans être touchés.
Apparemment pas de dommages sérieux pour Allen au final, mais le groupe a évidemment écourté le show, ça aurait pu très mal se finir pour eux.
"COF would just like to apologise to all COF fans at Bloodstock for not being able to perform the full length of set on Saturday. This was due to a selfish and stupid person in the crowd throwing dangerous objects at the band and injuring Paul, who then had to be hospitalised.
This person threw what were being sold at the site as ‘gobstoppers’, but which were actually heavy, solid, pieces of candy, approximately the size of a cricket ball and weighing close to a pound, at the band. Approximately 6 of these were thrown, one narrowly missed hitting Ashley in the face and also a terminally ill young fan in a wheelchair sitting side of the stage, a couple just missed Dani and then one hit Paul in the spine, causing him to collapse. The paramedics called an ambulance and Paul was taken to hospital with suspected spinal damage; where he was subjected to numerous tests before the doctors said they didn’t think Paul had sustained any lasting damage.
This act of stupidity caused the show to finish prior to the encore, caused Paul serious pain and everyone else a lot of anxiety. This person is lucky that no one was seriously injured or worse, which could easily have been the case and a serious police matter.
Why does someone buy a ticket for a festival where everyone should be enjoying the weekend and having a good time and then have to ruin it for other people? A very selfish, sad person, one can only imagine.
So again, full apologies to everyone who was at Bloodstock to have a good time and to see the band and if you think you know who the person was that spoiled everyone else’s evening, please let us, the Bloodstock staff or the Police know as soon as possible, because next time someone may not be so lucky."
