12 Brutal Times Famous Musicians Attacked Their Own Fans

2. Amy Winehouse

It's not just rock clubs or hip-hop gigs that are home to violent musician tantrums. The late Amy Winehouse infamously got annoyed at a fan that chucked a hat at her during a performance, fearing that it would mess up her iconic beehive. Incredibly, this event occurred during 2008's Glastonbury Festival, the biggest annual festival in the UK. The angered singer first threw a half-hearted punch in the direction that the missile had come from, and then seemed to realise that she hadn't punished the thrower nearly enough. She follows up that first punch with a hail of more aggressive blows, her irritation evident in her suddenly snarled voice, before a security guard (surprisingly delicately) pushes her away from the crowd. Proof that even the biggest stars at the largest events can lose their temper during a performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IN7yJWi21E
