Eurovision winning metallers Lordi have been shot at while on tour in the US. The incident happened in Kentucky, where apparently the band were in their tour bus when a car pulled up. The driver started shooting at both the band and their fans. No one was hurt, although one fan was temporarily held hostage. The band's manager ran for help, meaning police were soon on the seen.
Speaking about the incident, frontman Mr Lordi told Blabbermouth: "Rikk
[Scholvinck] ran to a bar and called the police who arrived soon. In a
moment we were surrounded by like five police cars but the guys managed to
escape. They were a group of drug addicts that had stolen the car earlier
that night, and police were already looking for them, but have still not
managed to catch them".
