Everclear
Their 1998 Australian tour was an unexpected disaster. At a show in Wollongong, someone threw a shoe at singer Art Alexakis, knocking loose a few of his teeth. Two nights later in Melbourne, someone threw a lit explosive on stage, which exploded and burned a stagehand. The band decided to cancel the remainder of their tour following a final show on the Gold Coast, during which Alexakis was hit with a shoe (while the crowd was singing him "Happy Birthday") and Montoya's acoustic bass guitar was stolen. To date, Everclear has not returned to Australia.
