David Bowie was forced to stop a concert in Oslo part way through after he was hit in the eye by a lollipop thrown by a fan.

The sweet wedged itself between Bowie’s left eyeball and its lid twenty minutes into the rock veterans set.

The gig was immediately stopped, and an aide rushed onstage to remove the lollipop while Bowie shouted abuse to the thrower, calling them a coward and a b*st*rd.

One fan said: "He grabbed a mike and called the person responsible a coward and b*****d for hiding in the crowd. Everyone booed as the concert was stopped," reports The Sun.

Eventually a female member of the audience owned up, saying that it had been an accident. "I was dancing, holding the sweet up. Then I was pushed and it flew from my hand."
