On-Stage Fight Ends Brian Jonestown Massacre's Australian Tour

In a dramatic turn of events, Australian tour performances by the '90s rock band Brian Jonestown Massacre came to a sudden halt after two band members got into a fight onstage.

During a gig in Melbourne, Anton Newcombe, the lead vocalist, and Ryan Van Kriedt, a guitarist, clashed just six songs into their act. The altercation was enough to stop the show and prompt the cancellation of their remaining Australian tour dates.

The incident escalated when Newcombe told Van Kriedt to shut off his microphone and leave the stage. Newcombe's comment to Van Kriedt was abrasive, indicating that his presence was not necessary, effectively ending the performance. Witnesses were taken aback as the confrontation unfolded before a full venue.

The cancellations of subsequent shows are likely to disappoint fans who were looking forward to the band's tour. As of now, the future of the band's tour engagements remains in question following the Melbourne incident.
