Bats 1 - Rock Musicans 1

Ever since Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off one, bat's have stayed away from rock concerts but one decided that they were going to go the full Twisted Sister and 'We're Not Gonna Take it' and took a bite at the singer of the lead singer in the rock band Pretty Reckless.
Taylor Momsen, now obviously forever known as Bat Girl, was the supporting act for AC/DC when the bat flew on to her leg during the song 'Witches Burn' which she interrupted to calmly state: 'There's a fucking flying bat on my leg right now, can someone help me please?'
Her bandmates and backstage staff removed the bat but not before it had sunk it's fangs into her thigh which left her facing two weeks of rabies shots but the bat was left to fly another day unlike the one which landed on the stage of the Black Sabbath singer in the early 1980s.
'I get a lot of weird people at my concerts' explained Ozzy at the time,'and somebody threw a bat onstage and I thought it was one of these toy bats so I picked it up, bite the thing’s head off and suddenly everybody is freaking out. I can assure you the rabies shots I went through afterwards aren’t fun. Every night for the rest of the tour I had to find a doctor and get rabies shots, one in each arse cheek, one in each thigh, one in each arm.' and then in a forewarning of what Taylor can expect: 'Every one hurt like a bastard.'
There has been rumours that the incident was planned or staged, the man did admit to once snorting a line of ants, but personally i'm not sure Ozzy plans too much in advance although it did his career no harm and he even sold a stuffed bat with detachable Velcro head on his website so apart from three weeks of painful arse cheeks it all worked out, well better than the next time some guy in Wuhan, China took a bite out a bat which ended with everyone on the Planet being locked down.
