Concert Goers Attacking Performers; A New Trend?

Rapper Method Man was attacked by a beer can during his performance at the Gathering of the Juggalo's this past weekend, and TMZ has just obtained the video of the incident today.
Sadly, this is not the first time a crazed fan physically attacked a musician during a live performance.
Back in 2008, Oasis' front man, Noel Gallagher, was attacked by a fan at the V Festival at Toronto Island Park and the assault made headlines all across North America.
Tila Tequila was also a victim at a recent concert at the Gathering of the Juggalo's in Illinois where she said, "Dudes were throwing stone rocks at my face, beer bottles that split my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-0-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage."
Images were released shortly after the attack, showing Tequila's face bruised and bloody.
And now, the most recent of attacks, has left people in a state of paranoia at concerts.
Security at the Air Canada Centre have taken appropriate measures, banning all bottles in the arena to prevent another crowd attack. Earlier this week, I experienced the new policy at the Aerosmith concert and it was a pain in the butt for many people.

I really hope that these acts of violence won't become a trend at concerts.
