Gay For Johnny Depp man attacked at Exeter gig

Singer Marty Leopard of Gay For Johnny Depp was attacked by an audience member during their support set for Million Dead at Exeter Cavern, and has since been discharged from hospital.

Odd New York band Gay For Johnny Depp have had a bit of a rough time at their first UK show in Exeter this week when band member Marty Leopard was attacked by a crowd member during their support set for Million Dead. A statement on the band's website said: "Gay For Johnny Depp singer 'Marty Leopard' last night got attacked by a member of the audience who took umbrage at the band's OTT pro-gay love live performance at the NYC quartet's opening show with Million Dead at Exeter Cavern. He ended up in hospital but is out now, nursing his injuries and eating his breakfast. Whether it is through a straw remains unconfirmed. Perhaps someone took the sentiment of the band's 'hit' single 'No Teeth, Thumbs Up' a little too literally."

The band's attractively titled mini album 'Blood: The Natural Lubricant (An Apocalyptic Adventure Beyond Sodom And Gomorrah)' is out on Monday.
