Garbage's Shirley Manson throws violent fan out of gig for 'punching woman'

Shirley Manson, frontwoman of rock band Garbage, told a man to leave after he allegedly punched a female fan.

The incident happened during the band's performance last Friday at House Of Blues in Atlantic City. Manson stopping her band members mid-way through 1995 hit Stupid Girl and berating the male fan.

Contains NSFW language. Action starts 30ish seconds in.

She said: "Dude, never hit a ******* woman, what is wrong with you man?" The man was then ejected by security, before Manson continued: "You’re fighting baby, you gotta leave now.

"You’can’t fight, man. You can’t fight. I’m sorry, that’s the rules. We just need to all simmer down," she added. Garbage recently reformed after an extended hiatus, and released their first album in seven years earlier this month.

I'd heard about this! Love her! Loved her before but truly adore her now.

Thanks!

I've seen Robert Fripp stop King Crimson shows because someone ignored his "no flash photography" rule.

Yeah right Jeff, flash photography is on exactly the same level as striking a woman. Fripp is a precious primadonna.

Strange that I am listening to Garbage at the moment.
