Flying sheep head cracks skull

A rock music fan is suing a Norwegian group, Mayhem, for damages after his skull was fractured at a concert. The fan was hit by a sheep’s head which flew into the crowd as a sheep was being cut into pieces on stage by the lead singer of the group Blasphemer, real name Rune Eriksen. Blasphemer said it was an unfortunate accident. The fan has reportedly filed involuntary assault and battery charges against the band. The fan told reporters: ‘My relationship to sheep is a bit ambivalent now. I like them, but not when they come flying through the air. I have a headache now.’
