Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has taken to social media to reassure fans that he's OK after being struck in the head by a mobile phone thrown by an audience member.
The incident took place during a show at the 22,000-capacity Enterprise Centre in St Louis, MO, on Monday night. Footage of the incident (below) shows Sykes crouched at the front of the stage before being hit by an object.
"Who the fuck just threw a phone at my fuckin' head?" asks Sykes, after picking up the offending projectile. "You fuckin' tosser."
Bring Me The Horizon finished their show but cut the song YOUtopia from their set, and Sykes didn't complete his usual crowdwalk during Drown.
"Alright, everyone," says Sykes. "Just wanted to let you know I’m all good. The phone to the head definitely smarted, and I ended up with a mild concussion, but the swelling’s gone down a decent amount already.
"Last night I was struggling a bit on stage afterwards because singing was putting a lot of pressure on the wound and making things feel a bit disorienting while performing, so I’m sorry on my part for what may have seemed like a half-hearted performance.
"Appreciate everyone checking in and worrying about me, though. Everything should be fine for tonight’s gig."
Bring Me The Horizon are currently on tour in the US and begin a series of European festival dates next month, a run that includes a pair of shows at Manchester's B.E.C. Arena, where they'll play their 2006 debut album Count Your Blessings in full. A Canadian tour will follow in September. Full schedule below.
Sykes' injury comes days after rock icon Eric Clapton cut a show in Madrid, Spain, short after he was struck by a vinyl record thrown from the audience.
