During the concert, I was stabbed in the eye with a utility knife. I fell down and thought I lost my eye, blood was all over the inside of the costume. No one could see that I was hurt. The lead singer then began to beat me with a stick. At the same time, the guitarist set off the explosive, which was strapped to my head. My head was hanging toward the crowd. The explosive almost lit a girl's head on fire. Rock on! Bands Played In: "Music by Otis" - I played a Casio sythesizer that was originally owned by the group BOSTON.
