A David Bowie concert in Oslo was stopped after the singer was hit in the eye with a lollipop that was thrown on stage from the crowd. Reports say Bowie seemed to be in pain after the incident, and the show, twenty minutes in, was stopped while he recovered. One fan told reporters: "He grabbed a mike and called the person responsible a coward and bastard for hiding in the crowd. Everyone booed as the concert was stopped." A female fan later admitted to having thrown the lollipop, telling The Sun: "I was dancing, holding the sweet up. Then I was pushed and it flew from my hand."
