During a live show or a concert, a lot of things could go south despite organizers' attempt to have a peaceful event on the day itself. However, Rage Against The Machine's guitarist suffered a shocking thing while performing after a fan went up on stage.
According to Staten Island Live, Tom Morello was accidentally tackled by security personnel who went upstage to catch an unruly fan who reportedly went up on stage.
As seen on videos circulating online, a concertgoer who was wearing a red shirt snuck up on stage from the side.
He attempted to make a long jump from one side of the stage to another, but when he was about to leap, a security person tackled him by lunging.
The big move indeed stopped the event crasher, but the 58-year-old musician also tumbled and fell into the pit.
Per Rolling Stone, the band was performing their hit song "Killing in the Name" during the incident and they were halfway through their show for the evening.
Vocalist Zack de la Rocha made sure his bandmate is okay by checking on him after the incident. Morello later emerged from the pit and the group restarted the song later that evening as the final act.
As of this writing, the band has yet to release a statement about the matter.
The latest incident comes a few weeks after Rage Against The Machine performed at the United Center in Chicago when de la Rocha got injured while performing "Bullet In The Head."
He went off stage for a brief moment and he later returned with the help of crew members.
No injury can stop the band from making their fans entertained as the singer performed throughout the evening while sitting.
"I don't know what happened to my leg right now, but you know what? We're gonna keep this f*****' s*** goin'. If I have to crawl across this stage, we're gonna play for y'all tonight. We came too fuckin' far," the vocalist said.
The two shows mentioned above are part of their highly-anticipated reunion tour that started earlier this month.
The group is performing their classic hits from three previous albums "Killing In The Name," "Sleep Now In The Fire" and "Bulls on Parade."
As of this writing, the band has yet to perform new material, but their shows mostly contain political messages.
