Van Halen closed the Seattle Center Coliseum with a bang, not to mention a boom, a jump, a hoot, and a slightly-out-of-tune ka-bleemo! At least 22 people were injured and 45 ticketed in a riot celebrating the facility’s final show before scheduled renovation begins.
R.E.M. vocalist Michael Stipe spent the first week of the group’s “Little America Tour” on crutches, and not the rubber variety. Mutterin’ Mike stepped on a mysterious “creature of the deep” while doing the breaststroke in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego. Puzzled paramedics— who couldn’t understand a single syllable the injured singer was hollering— nearly performed an emergency appendectomy on the spot until one of them noticed the blood on the victim's foot. Stipe was forced to deliver his gorgeous-ifincomprehensible vocals from a barstool at that night's concert, and had to temporarily give up riding the vintage six-wheel bicycle he brought with him on the road. Reports that the "creature from the deep" was in reality Nikki Sixx remain unconfirmed at press time.
