As I Lay Dying was recently forced to cut short a show in Australia after guitarist Nick Hipa was hit in the head by a bottle hurled from the audience.
Hipa was then rushed off stage while an emergency medical technician (EMT) treated his bloody wound.
In a posting on the band's MySpace.com page, he says, "So last night, I got hit in the head by an empty glass Maker's Mark bottle. While it did stun and disorient me, I am completely fine. Lucky for me the bottle was huge so it didn't break and I have no need for stitches. I'm sorry we had to stop our set but I was quite discombobulated for a good while, and more importantly the EMT dude wouldn't let me play because my head was bleeding quite a bit... or some sort of mumbo jumbo like that.
"I am happy to say that aside from having a bulbous lump and cut on top of my skull, I'm in good health and feeling like a gladiator. Thank you to everyone who has been expressing concern though, I really appreciate it."
