This band stopped a gig to boot out a man in the audience who shoved a woman
3 DOORS DOWN are an American rock band who played a gig earlier this week that has since brought them to the world’s attention.
Why? Well, in the middle of their show in Colorado, the lead singer Brad Arnold saw a man in the audience push a woman out of the way - so he stopped the gig to get him thrown out at. You can see it happen 45 seconds into this clip:
A fan captured the footage on her phone and then sent it on at the band’s request so they could upload it to YouTube.
In the footage, you see Brad halt the band playing and call out the audience member:
He’s won major plaudits on Twitter and elsewhere for being prepared to stop everything
Whoops!

The guitarist Chris Henderson spoke to Time about the whole incident, and was glad that his lead singer stepped in like that:
As Time reports, the guitarist and lead singer had a discussion after the gig and decided it was the right thing to do:
*applause*
