Billy Strings has strongly reacted to the incident that happened during his electrifying concert in Indiana.

On Thursday, August 6th, while creating history with a memorable night during one of his sold-out shows in Fishers, Indiana, the musician was hit with an object.

According to the media reports, the Bluegrass hitmaker was delivering an iconic performance when a fan threw an object – believed to be a lighter – at his head.

Ahead of the moment, Strings was telling the crowd how happy he was to be performing, after having to postpone a previous show.

"Well, thank you so much, I’m so glad I can make it down here. To make up for last time," he began, before the object hit him.

After the lighter hit him on his head, Billy responded, saying, "What the hell, man? Maybe not. Maybe I shouldn’t have come back."

"You know, why the fuck would you throw something at me? Is your dick really that small? I was just getting ready to say how much I’m happy to be here, and I love you guys and all this shit, and then you throw something and it hits me right in the fucking head," he lashed out at the crowd.

He later said, "Find out who that was and sodomise them, please." 

However, now Strings took extra measuring steps as they emerged on stage with protective headgear.

This performance marked their first since they last performed at Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour stop in Spokane, Washington.

At the time, the critically known singer paid heartfelt tribute to the legendary musician Bob Dylan, who was also in attendance to perform All Along the Watchtower.


A few months after that, Strings paid tribute to his mother in an emotional Lexington gig just hours after learning she had died.
