Shirley Manson Ejects Fan From Garbage Concert After Crowd Scuffle - Watch Now

Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson kicked a fan out of a concert in Atlantic City last Friday (May 25th) – after seeing the man punch a female member of the crowd.
The incredible scenes can be seen on the video below, which was filmed at their stop in Atlantic City's House of Blues, as the band continue their tour of the US. The stoppage came half way through the band's hit 'Stupid Girl' – perhaps an appropriate title considering the incident – after a male and female member of the crowd got into a fight.
Stopping the violence, Manson shouted at the man: “Get the fuck off her right now! Dude, never hit a fucking woman, what the fuck is wrong with you man?! Holy shit, what the fuck's going on, Atlantic City?”
She then continued to address the man as security began searching for him, saying: 'Oh she started it? Oh Jesus Christ, okay. We're gonna have like five people to play to by the end of the show.”
Manson continued her barrage on the man, and shouted at him as he was being dragged away: “You’re fighting baby, you gotta leave man. You’can’t fucking fight, man. You just can’t fight. I’m sorry, that’s the rules, man. We just need to all simmer down.”
