Rod Stewart sued for allegedly breaking fan’s nose with football kick
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 24 September 2014
Given that Rod Stewart is famous for kicking footballs into his audience at any given opportunity, it’s a wonder he hasn’t faced legal action for causing a football-hitting-an-audience-member-based injury before. Oh, hang on, he did that time he broke an artist’s finger, if I remember rightly.
Anyway, Stewart is facing a new lawsuit after one of his on-stage football kicks allegedly broke a fan’s nose. According to PageSix.com, Mostafa Kashe’s lawsuit targets both Stewart and his promoter AEG Live after one of the singer’s balls smashed into his face at a Las Vegas show. Stewart kicked the football off the stage with “sufficient force so as to potentially injure a patron” says the lawsuit.
Kashe is seeking damages in excess of $10,000.
