The British-American rock star Slash, former lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, was attacked by a fan on stage in Milan on Thursday. The fan, coming from the wings, rushed towards Slash during the opening bars of the Guns N’ Roses anthem, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and nearly knocked him over as he was tackled by crew member Junior.

Unhurt and unruffled, Slash continued the show but had to call for a replacement guitar. The star’s wife Perla told the Express that she is furious as the Milan security men did nothing to stop the attack and the man was not arrested afterwards.

Slash himself tweeted a more laid-back reaction:

“Ah, well, it was a kick-ass rock show.”

Watch the video and judge for yourselves.

What should the security men have done?
