US music veteran Moby was mildly electrocuted during an acoustic performance in Amsterdam yesterday. The accident occurred as the musician took up his acoustic guitar, preparing to perform a short set for the gathered cameras. However, after feeling a pain on his neck, Moby took off the guitar and preceded to take a step to the floor and faint, much to the (temporary) delight of the gathered media.
Luckily Moby reacted well to the incident, which occurred last week, writing on his Twitter page: "Thanks for coming to the acoustic show. I apologize for being electrocuted."
"Damn. Being electrocuted in the neck kind of hurts.” Moby added shortly after. "Ah well, feeling much better. Glad it wasn't worse. God bless tesla."
Moby is currently touring Europe in promotion of his new album and photographic collection, both of which have been titled ‘Destroyed’. The singer has been playing small concerts while exhibiting his work, which has been released as a photographic book under the same name.
A video of the incident has recently appeared online. You can watch the accident (and some of the following set) below:
