Rocker injured on stage at gig

ROCKER Ian Brown was treated for a head injury after a terrifying incident on
stage on Friday night.

The former Stone Roses legend, 45, smashed his head as he was pulled from the
stage at the Academy venue in Sheffield.

His performance at the Isle Of Wight festival on Saturday night was thrown
into doubt, but he decided to travel to the island to perform after
treatment on the injury.

The singer's camp have said they are not sure if it was a deliberate attack.

Ian was set to play on Saturday's bill before headliners The Sex Pistols.

Kaiser Chiefs and N.E.R.D were among the acts to play on Friday's first night
of the event which is the festival season's curtain-raiser.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "No-one has come forward
regarding the incident and we are not investigating it any further."
