On this day, October 9, 1980, a riot erupted at a Black Sabbath concert in Milwaukee after the band walked off the stage. The chaos began when bassist Geezer Butler was struck in the head by a bottle, causing the band to leave in frustration.

Fun Fact!
Ozzy Osbourne, who had recently left the band, was the original lead singer of Black Sabbath.

Who remembers hearing about this wild concert moment?
