Favourite rock story of the day - a flying sheep's head hit and fractured the skull of a concertgoer in Oslo during a gig from metal band Mayhem. Part of the death metal band's set is to chop up a sheep on stage (like you do). Midway through carve up the sheep's head flew off into the audience, hitting one Per Kristian Hagen. Talking to reporters about the incident Hagen said: "My relationship to sheep is a bit ambivalent now. I like them, but not when they come flying through the air." Hagen now plans to press involuntary assault and battery charges against the band which could carry a maximum sentence of six months in prison.
