Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Akon: What Happens When Gigs Go Bad
A round-up of 50 onstage disasters...
- Metallica / Guns N Roses. August 8, 1992 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium – The eighth night of the joint tour hit disaster when Metallica frontman James Hetfield stepped too close to a pyrotechnics blast during their opening song 'Fade To Black'. Metallica abandoned the show, only for Guns N Roses to frustrate fans further when they left stage early after Axl Rose complained of a sore throat. Hetfield suffered second and third degree burns and was forced to sit out of playing guitar for much of the remaining tour.
