Ian Brown was in Dubai playing to a packed arena of eager fans. However, for one fan in particular it looked like the night was going to end in disaster. During his rendition of Fools Gold by the Stone Roses, Mr Brown began admiring a man's tattoo that he had on his back in the crowd and subsequently began signalling to the other band members to check it out. But, security gaurds obviously took this up the wrong way. Shock, that. They began pulling said fan from the crowd forcing Ian Brown to stop singing, the band to stop playing, and making him tell security over the mic to "Leave him alone."
The fan was pulled out and Brown publicly said "Sorry mate, they're bullies”. It's reported, though, that the man was later seen backstage with his girlfriend, which would indicate that everything was sorted and he would end up partying with Brown himself. Every cloud, eh?
