Placebo stormed off stage at RockNess Festival in Scotland last night after a reveller allegedly threw a pair of scissors at them.

Angry singer Brian Molko left the stage after being pelted during their fourth song 'For What It's Worth', saying “"My safetly cannot be guaranteed so I'm leaving."

The crowd in the Clash Tent booed as all the band members filed off, before they returned five minutes later.

  • Fucks sake, which knob threw the scissors? That's out of order. Lets take it back old school and go back to throwing tomatoes, or bottles of piss.

  • seconded, also, what's with the 'allegedly' business that people keep saying, it DID happen...guaranteed everyone booing was booing the twat that threw the scissors anyways. if i was on the receiving end i wouldn't have come back on stage, fuck that. great show from the boys anyways, they overcame a lot of problems on stage.

  • Also agreed on this 'allegedly' thing. It DID happen, as most of the the people on the front row will confirm. People were booing the idiot that threw them, not the band. Considering the whole scissor thing, and the fact some fucker threw a bottle of something all over Brian's foot pedals, the band put on a great show. THANK YOU PLACEBO!
