The first report said that Anton Newcombe, singer of Brian Jonestown Massacre, was arrested on allegations that he stabbed is guitarist backstage at one of their final shows on their European tour. Now, it appears that he has been let go as the band has said the whole ordeal was horseplay, and a knife wasn’t even involved. Actually, it was glass, and the wounds were superficial.
I’ve seen him throw verbal knives at his band members, and it isn’t pretty. However, this will never stop me from going to their shows…Anton, behave.
