Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes suffers a mild concussion after a fan throws a smartphone at his head during a concert in St. Louis, according to multiple reports. Sykes continues performing after the incident but adjusts the show, including cutting at least one song and some planned audience interaction. Several outlets report that he experiences disorientation and difficulty on stage afterward, describing how singing and related activity put pressure on the wound. In updates shared after the show, Sykes says he is doing okay and suggests he should be fine for an upcoming performance, while also addressing the incident publicly.
The reports also place the incident within a broader pattern of objects being thrown at artists during live sets. In related coverage, musicians including Eric Clapton are also described as having been struck by thrown items while performing, highlighting concerns about crowd behavior at shows. Across outlets, the central facts remain consistent: a phone hits Sykes during the performance, he is diagnosed or reports a mild concussion, and he modifies the remainder of the set while recovering.
