Billy Snaps More Than Strings During Indiana Gig | Music City Minute
Well, dunk my donuts here we go again. A few days ago, Billy Strings was playing a packed house at the Fisher Event Center in Indiana; and all seem to be going well. That is, until a mystery projectile hit Strings in the head. In record time, hundreds of fan videos documenting the incident (as well as the Leadfoot singer’s not-safe-for-work meltdown) popped up online. “I was just getting ready to say how much I’m happy to be here and I love you guys and all this {stuff} then you throw something and it hits me right in the {bleeping} head,” said the 33-year-old strum-lord.
Unfortunately, the Grammy award winner’s prickly disposition changed the mood of the show significantly. However, after a brief intermission, a smiley, cheekier Billy Strings returned to the stage in a hockey helmet, and delivered more face melting bluegrass. Mercy sakes, I suppose we ought to add “UFO” to the long list of crowed thrown projectiles - right behind bracelets, Zyn cans, hacky sacks, phones, plastic bottles, underwear, bras, jellybeans, Copenhagen tins and roses.
