Information

Apocalypse Please was played during the sound-check. Matthew Bellamy hit his face with his seven-string guitar during the beginning of Citizen Erased. He tried to continue, but decided to stop and was taken to hospital.[source?]

There are conflicting—or rather ambiguous—testimonies regarding what number on the set Citizen Erased was, however it appears that it was 5th.

On a video recording of the incident, Matthew can be heard saying "Sorry, I fucked my face up real bad." [1]

Media

Someone recorded the incident and uploaded it to YouTube and the video can be watched here. A clip containing a small part of each song from the gig can be seen here.
