And it's not just Barbra Streisand incurring the wrath of audience members - The Horrors frontman Faris Badwan was attacked by an angry fan as he played a gig in New York on Tuesday night. Badwan made light of the incident, in which a gig goer got up on stage and dragged the singer to the ground, telling the audience: "It really is Halloween."

Badwan told NME: "This guy kept trying to grab the microphone, and after I told him to stop, he tried to start a fight with me", adding "you should have seen HIS face afterwards."
