Bloc Party gig halted by coin

Bloc Party's Aberdeen gig was briefly halted after frontman Kele Okereke was hit by a thrown coin, though he was unhurt.

Bloc Party's gig in Aberdeen on Sunday was stopped part way through after frontman Kele Okereke was hit by a flying coin. An audience member launched the monetary missile two songs into the band's set, and the group were forced to leave the stage. Okereke was not hurt, however, and the band returned after a short hiatus and continued with the gig.

Someone on a forum somewhere said: "It was a pretty good gig in the end, but aside from a couple of songs they didn't look they were having fun and the coin-throwing incident made the rest of the gig feel a bit awkward."

The band's remaining tour dates are as follows:

20 Feb: Edinburgh Corn Exchange

21 Feb: Newcastle Academy

22 Feb: Sheffield Octagon
