Overview
- Oli Sykes was struck in the head by a phone thrown from the crowd at St. Louis’ Enterprise Center during “Happy Song” on Monday.
- He finished the show but appeared disoriented, and the band trimmed the set by at least one song and skipped his usual crowd walk during “Drown.”
- Sykes told fans on Instagram the next day that he sustained a mild concussion, said the swelling had gone down, and apologized for a performance that felt off.
- He added that he expected to be fine for the next show, and coverage has not reported any cancellations or legal action tied to the incident.
- Fan-shot videos spread widely on TikTok and other platforms, and outlets framed the episode as part of a wider spate of objects thrown at artists in recent years.
