According to the NME, a Coldplay fan has been attacked in a Seattle karaoke bar after performing a rendition of the band's breakthrough hit, 'Yellow'.
The incident occurred last Thursday (9 Aug) where an unnamed man took to the stage only to find himself the subject of immediate heckling from a female member of the crowd. The woman apparently declared: "Oh no, not that song. I can't stand that song!" before leaping for the singing hopeful, telling him that he "sucked" and that she didn't think much of the song either. Not content with that abuse, she proceeded to punch the unfortunate fellow in the face, only stopping after she was dragged off by three other members of the public and a barman.
Not that I'm condoning violence or anything, but I think at some point we've all wanted to hit something, or someone, when we've heard a Coldplay track come on, so I think it would be unfair to judge the poor woman.
