"David Bowie got a lollipop impaled between his eyeball and eyelid during a concert performance in Oslo after a 'fan' threw it at him"

 

[tt_deeb]

[Star Power]

I love his outfit.


And Morrissey probably threw it at him

Umm... April Fools?

No seriously, tell me you're kidding

 

[bjork]

Watch it make his eyes both be the same color now.

Bowie > *

 

[Diablos]

I can't believe someone would do that.

 

[karasu]

wtf

 

[yoshifumi]

wow. that is really ridiculous.

 

[Star Power]

I'm not surprised.


Morrissey is quite hateful and jealous of Bowie.

 

[bjork]

Considering that punk bands used to get bottles and shit thrown at them, and spit upon, and that country singer was pelted and injured by quarters being thrown at him, it's not really surprising, imo.

I always liked to go to a show to hear the music and see the show, but I guess some folks want it to be interactive.

 

[karasu]

He has to be the only man in history to be stabbed in the eye with a fucking blowpop.

 

[Justin Bailey]

I smell a new "OWNED!" pic.

 

[bjork]

He has to be the only man in history to be stabbed in the eye with a fucking blowpop outside of Midwest America.

fixed.

 

[Diablos]

Morrissey is quite hateful and jealous of Bowie.

Why?

 

[Archaix]

Why?

I don't know why he hates him, but aren't we all jealous of Bowie?

 

[Guzim]

Ouch!

 

[FoneBone]

That gets my vote as one of the funniest thread titles I've seen.

 

[Ripclawe]

the site has it avatar sized.. Dumbass fan.

 

[Escape Goat]

ROFL

 

[Ryck]

Morrissey hates him because when they toured together bowie treated him like shit...

 

[miyuru]

Props to the fan, that's a tough angle to nail!

 

[RiZ III]

ow fuck. Thats gotta hurt.

 

[john tv]

Wow. If that's real, that's just... crazy. He's unbelievably lucky that it didn't poke his eye out or something. Lord.

 

[fart]

holy shit

how could you do that to the bowie? i hope the crowd lynched the motherfucker that threw that

 

[Ill Saint]

Damn, that's messed up. It feels nasty just looking at it.

 

[Great King Bowser]

Was Bowie the headliner? Why would you pay to see him and then throw lollipops at him?

Now I'd understand if he wasn't the headliner, take the example of yesterday at the RHCP concert in Hyde Park.

These ass hats Chicks on Speed (along with Jaaaaaaaaaames Brown) were the special guests. And they were so shit we booed and pelted them off half way through their set. But they called us fucking wankers so they deserved it.

 

[Kiriku]

It hit his bad eye, so it could've been worse (he injured his left eye during a fight in school when he was 13 years old).
He wasn't too happy about this either, starting shouting things like "You fucking wanker! You little fucker!" to the crowd.

It seems like it was a woman who threw the lollipop by accident. She tells about how she was holding the lollipop in her hand when she was heavily pushed by someone standing behind her, causing her to lose grip of the lollipop sending it flying towards David Bowie's left eye.
She was feeling very bad about it since she's a big fan of David Bowie. She also wanted to put her hands up in the air when he asked who had done it, but she was too afraid.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Wow. What a lucky bastard. It looks like his eye is ok for the most part, but i'm not sure of that either.

Nice throw though. I'll give him/her that much.

Oh. Well... accidental or not, still a good damn toss.

 

[fart]

oh man, i hate when assholes turn out to be good people in bad circumstances :/

they still should've lynched her.

 

[Diablos]

Morrissey hates him because when they toured together bowie treated him like shit...

Why would he do that??

 

[mpoutane]

Why would he do that??

Because he can!

You're kidding me right? She said someone pushed her and somehow it flEw diagonally probably 8 feet right into Bowie's eye? LOL

 

[TheDrowningMan]

Why would he do that??

I wouldn't think it's quite that simplistic - More likely just a bad personality clash. We all know that it doesn't take much to get on the wrong side of Moz, to say the least.

Bowie & Morrissey = Both great.

Here's the story of the girl who did it She says that she found a lollipop in her pocket (it was someone else's jacket), and held it in her upstreched hands when a big guy suddenly smashed into her from behind and sent it flying. She's very sorry, of course, being a huge Bowie-fan (this was her 8th gig with him) and was shitscared of people finding out that it was her. Her big brother stood beside her, ready to defend her if someone should rough her up!

Also, she says that a few songs after the accident, Bowie throws his guitar pick out over the crowd, sarcastically shouting "Oops, I hope I didn't hit you in the eye! I guess I'll go hide among my five bandmembers now!". She was the one who caught it

 

[Borat]

Bowie's fans didn't like Morrisey's set, so Bowie kicked him off the tour.
