NOFX lead singer Fat Mike hit a concertgoer who jumped on stage in the face twice during a performance Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.
Fat Mike announced in the beginning of the concert that he was suffering from neck pain, so when the intoxicated concertgoer - who is only identified as Alex - jumped on the stage and put his arm around the singer's neck he was punched, then kicked in the face.
Although Alex was taken down by Fat Mike on stage, the fan is not suing. Rather, Alex actually took the blame on Twitter:
@FatMike_of_NOFX thanks for the KO mike, didn't hurt too much. Soz for creepin up on you like, punk shows are a bit different down here.

I'm sorry too Alex, I was in terrible pain all night. When you grabbed me by the neck I defensively reacted... offensively @alexanderpeterq — Mike Burkett (@FatMike_of_NOFX) November 5, 2014
@FatMike_of_NOFX No worries mike, i completely forgot you mentioned your neck hurting, I was way too drunk.
