Eurovision Winner's Lordi Get Shot At In America

2006 Eurovision song contest winners Lordi have come under fire after a show in America.

The heavy rock group from Finland became involved in an attempted armed robbery in Kentucky last Friday (October 26th).

According to reports, the band’s manager Rikk Scholvinck escaped after the robbers pulled up alongside the band’s tour bus.

Mr Lordi, the band’s frontman, explained: "Rikk ran to a bar and called the police who arrived soon. In a moment we were surrounded by like five police cars but the guys managed to escape.

"They were a group of drug addicts that had stolen the car earlier that night, and police were already looking for them, but have still not managed to catch them."

A Lordi fan was reportedly held a gunpoint in the incident.
