Neil Young, Solo
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Flu-stricken musician Neil Young ended his concert early Friday night and passed out in his dressing room while fans jeered and threw chairs. Three people were arrested.
Police said there were no injuries.
Those taken into custody were charged with inciting a riot, wanton endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal attempted assault.
Police restored ordered in about an hour at the state-owned Commonwealth Convention Center, where about 5,500 people paid $10.50 and $12.50 for the concert.
Dr. Richard Greathouse of Louisville, a pediatrician and elected Jefferson County coroner, announced to the crowd that Young had become ill and was unable to continue the performance.
The announcement prompted jeers by the crowd. Some people threw cups of beer and tossed chairs. Police estimated damage at the downtown convention hall at $1,000.
A spokesman for Sunshine Productions, the agency that booked the concert, said Young has been suffering from the flu for several days.
'He's very sick,' Sunshine spokesman Steve Cohen said. 'The rigors of the road are not an easy thing and an illness doesn't make it any better.'
Cohen said the concert probably would be rescheduled. He promised a prompt announcement on tickets for those who had attended the abbreviated concert.
