Dustin Lynch Gets Hit In Face By Beer Can At Concert

There’s an epidemic of excessive alcohol consumption at Country music concerts but just because a singer’s music connects with you, it doesn’t mean you can then give your ‘bro’ a beer.

One fan at a Dustin Lynch concert this past weekend at the 2014 Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival aka MulletFest (a festival for a fish, not the 80s hairstyle), in Niceville, Florida. Dustin Lynch was performing one of his songs when a fan from the audience threw a can of beer at him and it hit him square in the face.”

The “Where It’s At” singer continued on singing after the incident, even as blood was gushing from the open wound right above his cheekbone

"Who threw the beer?" he asked the audience, as seen in a video posted on TMZ. "You did? Come here! You, come here! You threw a beer and hit me in the face! Come here! Who was it?"

The person who threw the brew was not found. Lynch told People magazine that the beer can was "completely full," saying, "It felt like a baseball had hit me."

Dustin Lynch later tweeted about the incident:

On my way to the hospital for a few stitches, I’ll be okay ... I appreciate all of you. Fyi the guy who hit me with a beer can got away ...

While he was still bloodied, he took a photo which was shared by a fan on twitter after he took the selfie:

The Mullet Festival's official website dubs Niceville the "nicest little city in the South." Others performers at the event included Martina McBride, Neal McCoy, and Blackjack Billy.
