Billy Strings wears protective headgear at a Fishers, Indiana concert after being struck in the head by a thrown object the previous night. Multiple outlets report that during the first night of a three-night run at the Fishers Event Center, Strings is speaking onstage when an object hits him.
Following the incident, Strings returns for the next show wearing a helmet. Both reports frame the action as a response to personal safety concerns during the multi-night engagement, noting that the protective gear is used on subsequent dates after the earlier disruption.
While the outlets do not provide further details on the object, the timing is consistent across accounts: the injury occurs on night one during his set at the Indiana venue, and the headgear appears on the following night(s).
