12 Brutal Times Famous Musicians Attacked Their Own Fans

12. Shirley Manson

The first incident on this list is that of Garbage's Shirley Manson. Although this particular show didn't erupt into the same brawls that occur further down the list, it's worth including just because it shows the singer's power over her own audience. Manson didn't take too kindly to being spat on repeatedly by an audience member, and rightly so. Instead of jumping into the crowd herself, she snarls a threat in her Scottish accent to terrify even the bravest of her fans. "I€™ll get all these men, including my own f*cking crew, to come find you, take you outside, and f*ck you up like you ain€™t never been f*cked up before". Ouch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtZsSkWO9nc
