Just heard Shaun Keaveney going on about Robbie Williams getting punched by someone when he was on stage with Take That...
Remember Bob Geldof getting twatted by a punter when he was performing with the Boomtown Rats on TVs Rock Goes To College. It was a great right hand smash across the face.
Captain Sensible got a kicking when he started pissing on the crowd, I think in Belgium when he was with The Damned (tho could've been the States).
Wattie from The Exploited got part of his tongue bit off by a girl on stage in Sweden when she got up and started snogging him...
I remember the band Fantastic play their only gig in Rhyl and a Henchman punched one of them on stage - think it may have been Rob Snapshot.
Over to you...

Wayne County KO'ing Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators with a mic stand at CBGBs because Manitoba was hurling abuse.
Sid Vicious smacking an abusive cowboy over the head with his bass (in the process making a more musical sound than he ever managed by more conventional means!!!) at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas.
Mark E Smith's random assaults on just about every poor sod who's played in The Fall.
Vivienne Westwood's slap to the face of an entirely innocent girl in the audience at a Sex Pistols concert in Dingwalls - mission accomplished because the ensuing melee was caught on camera and gained the Pistols their first NME cover story.
Sid Vicious, Jah Wobble and cohorts attack on Bob Harris of the Old Grey Whistle Test in The Speakeasy after Harris refused to feature the Pistols on the show.
Paul Weller nutting Sid Vicious despite the difference in physique (Weller's about 5'8" while Vicious was 6'+).
Dee Dee Ramone trashing Johnny Thunders beloved white Fender guitar because he claimed that Thunders had stolen some items of personal property (though the suspicion is that it was really about the contested authorship of "Chinese Rocks").
The Fine Young Cannibals and Matt BIanco squaring up to each other on some cheesy European music awards show after the Cannibals had splattered Bianco with a custard pie to the face.
Liam Gallagher walking into a German nightclub and deciding that guys in suits are a soft target, realising too late that some guys in suits belong to the Mafia.
Liam deciding that a club date in Newcastle in Oasis' early career would be livened up by him wearing a Man City shirt - it was, mainly by the Newcastle United fan who jumped up on stage and punched him in the mouth, possibly loosening his teeth in preparation for the German nightclub incident!!!
The drummer from the Lonesome Boys nutting his guitarist in Bar Blu, splitting both the band and the guitarist's forehead (OK, I know they aren't celebrities, but it's an incident that's passed into North Walian folklore!!!).

Yeah, it was Lewis Collinson from Ethergy, though I think it was mainly because Lewis wanted to get a chance to play the guitar which was a 1950s vintage Gretsch. The sight of the Lonesome Boys guitarist rolling around on the wooden floor at Blu covered in beer and cigarette ash with several thousand quid-worth of guitar around his neck was quite funny as well. Quote of the night came from Endaf of Kentucky AFC who said to me "The guy was going around in soundcheck threatening to nut someone so I spent the whole gig walking round on tiptoe". As Endaf is about 6'6", it was probably the wisest thing to do!!!

I wonder who that could have been? Also I once chinned Steve Garvey (the bassist with Buzzcocks) for coming on to my then girl friend (she was his brothers ex). I am rumoured to have twatted Mark E Smith too, but that was when we were at school and before the Fall days. I will admit to pissing in Gary Holton's (Heavy Metal Kids / Auf Wiedersehen Pet) pint back stage after an Alice Cooper gig for no apparent reason. Peace and goodwill to all

Mark E Smith's random assaults on just about every poor sod who's played in The Fall. . I'm still looking to get that image of sid in mid swing on a t shirt, it would sum up my attitude to bass playing perfectly! Mark e smith didn't just limit himself to band members, friends of mine in manchester would report frequently on people who'd gone up to him on the street and said "are you mark e smith?" onyl to have it confirmed by a punch in the face. (urban) legend. pah, my black metal murders piss on your celebrity assaults

Mark E Smith : the guy was a total wimp at school. He and his cronies were the "strange kids" who always stood away from everybody else in the yard but were a constant target for a kickin'. The kickin didn't stop when this little gang became The Fall and they wouldn't play any of the local pubs for fear of said kickin'. Oh glory days

I think I may have got the gig at which Sid went cowboy-bashing wrong!!! I think it was San Antonio where Sid clubbed the cowboy - Dallas was where, as Iwan mentioned, he was butted in the face and covered in blood by the wonderfully named Helen Keller AKA Helen Killer!!! PS Which was the American gig where Sid ended up having sex with a transexual groupie?

In a twist of fate I do enjoy seeing celebrities getting back and twattin papp's.
My fave was probably Bjork ripping clumps of hair out of some unsuspecting female reporter after she'd gt off an aeroplane!
