50 Cent Attacked On Stage At Gig In Brazil

Curtis Mayfield. August 13, 1990 @ Wingate Field, New York. The soul, funk and R & B legend was electrocuted and paralysed from the neck downwards when lighting equipment fell on him at the outdoor gig. Despite being debilitated and unable to play any instruments, Mayfield battled on, writing and overseeing his final album New World Order released in 1997. He recorded the majority of the album vocals while lying on his back.
