MGMT Member Walks Off Stage After Being Hit By Fan (Top Story)

MGMT Member Walks Off Stage After Being Hit By Fan was a top story in September. Here it is again as we recap 2010: (Gibson) MGMT drummer Will Berman abruptly abandoned his post on-stage after an audience member struck him in the torso with a pint bottle. Two songs shy from wrapping up their set at England's Manchester Apollo, MGMT continued on as an obviously angry Berman exited the stage.

Not noticing his absence during "The Handshake," the band at last realized Berman was gone just as they were about to launch into their biggest hit to date, "Kids."

"Where's Will gone?" the band asked the crowd. Despite the band's requests, Berman wouldn't return to the stage. With their drummer missing, the band played "Kids" over a backing track. AOL's Spinner.com reports that the crowd didn't mind, and the song won the night's biggest applause. Check out a video of a drummer-less MGMT playing "Kids" - here
