In one of their latest articles, Alternative Press named 5 examples of times when bands stood up to security, when they treated their fans badly or didn’t do their job correctly. The bands that Alternative Press mentioned included Tonight Alive, State Champs, Knocked Loose, The Story So Far and… you’ve guessed it: Simple Plan.
The incident happened on the 2012 European tour in Milan, Italy [we reported about it here, back in March 2012]. In case you don’t recall, here’s a little recap of what happened: A fan first jumped on stage out of fun, after which he was escorted off the stage by security. Usually, the story would end here and we would say job well done, security. However, the security then proceeded to beat-up this fan on the side of the venue. When the members of Simple Plan noticed that, they stopped the show (right during one of their biggest hits ‘Welcome To My Life’) and Jeff even went to get the fan out of the security’s hands and brought him back on stage.
Check out what Alternative Press had to say about the band’s quick step-in into the incident and remind yourselves of the video of what all went down that night below:
