So i was reading through articles on aol music because I like to go on there a lot and there was a section called embarrasing onstage antics. They describe all embarrasing things that happened to performers in the past while on stage at a concert. I thought it was interesting because I only knew about a few of them and wanted to share it. Ill list them from 15 down to 1, 1 being the most embarrasing..So here goes..
15. in 1997 when U2 was on their Popmart tour, the band's 40-foot lemon-shaped pod malfunctioned, trapping the band inside.
14. At Woodstock '94, Green Day started an mud-fight with the audience. With the stage filled with mud covered fans, bassist Mike Dirnt was mistaken for a trespasser by a security guard, who fought the musician, knocking out several teeth.
13. In 1977, Fleetwood Mac celebrated their status as the world's biggest band by having a 70-foot penguin into their act. However, "It would never fully inflate," said Lindsey Buckingham. "This thing was limping and floundering at the back of the stage."
12. The Who's Keith Moon rigged an explosion during a 1967 television appearance. More powerful than planned, it propelled the drum kit and Daltrey airborne, and may have even triggered Pete Townshend's hearng troubles.
11. Singers forget lyrics all the time, but preferably not in front of the President. During a Kennedy Center tribute to Dolly Parton, Jessica Simpson abruptly stopped in the middle '9 to 5.' "Dolly, that made me so nervous," she blurted before running offstage.
10. Alice Cooper "retired" the huge snake used in his show for decades after an incident in Los Angeles during which the snake pooped all over him. Cooper later told Rolling Stone. "My whole stage costume was covered, and it smelled so bad I was gagging."
9. David Bowie has dodged his share of roses and beer cans in concert, but he surely never anticipated what would force him to leave the stage 20 minutes into a 2004 Oslo show. The Thin White Duke was hit with the thin white stick from a lollipop, hurled by a fan, which lodged inside his left eyelid. It was the same eye that he injured in a schoolboy fight with a classmate, a trauma that left the eye permanently dilated.
8.The Rolling Stones massive 1969 concert in London's Hyde Park became a tribute to their fallen mate Brian Jones, who was discovered at the bottom of his swimming pool two days before the gig. Mick Jagger dressed in white, and read from Shelley's elegiac 'Adonais' before releasing thousands of butterflies -- most of which were already dead.
7. During one of Neil Young's appearances, the oblivious singer had a gob of cocaine clearly lodged in a nostril. It later had to be editied out of their concert film.
6. Sean "Diddy" Combs tried to pull a page from the grunge playbook when he attempted a stage dive at a tony nightclub in Ibiza, Spain, in 2005. Instead of catching the rapper and hip-hop impresario, fans moved away, and Diddy slammed to the floor. Gamely, he hobbled back onstage.
5. Ozzy Osbourne was on the receiving end of a somewhat less fondly remembered stunt on his 'Diary of a Madman' tour. A giant catapult designed to look like a hand was set up to fling raw calves' livers and pig intestines into the audience in a kind of ritual baptism-by-butcher's-offal. At one gig, the slaughter fell far short of its destination, landing on ... Ozzy's head.
4. Onstage in Mansfield, Massachusetts, in 2004, Cyndi Lauper threw her head back to hit a high note and took a direct hit from a defecating bird flying overhead. The singer wiped her mouth on her sleeve and went on singing. Later, she denied reports that the poop had landed in her mouth: "It went on my lower lip. I could not taste it ... I actually considered it a good-luck sign."
3. Nirvana's Krist Novoselic put himself in harm's way during the 1992 taping of the MTV VMAs. Near the end of the song 'Lithium,' Novoselic tossed his bass in the air. The guitar hit him on his head, and the dazed musician stumbled offstage as his mates trashed their own instruments.
2. Ashlee Simpson was exposed on 'SNL' when the wrong recording of her vocals was triggered. Simpson fled, but tried to stomp out her embarrassment with a hoedown.
1. Black Eyed Peas memeber Fergie peed her pants during a concert. She had a huge wet spot on her crotch. Her publicist claimed the stain was just "sweat," but Fergie actually confessed that she'd had a few drinks and "didn't think to go to the bathroom" before the show. "We were jumping around ... it was all very rock 'n' roll. And my bladder just started ... you know."
