Brent Hinds, vocalist and guitarist for metal stars Mastodon, has suffered a severe head injury after allegedly being hit by another man following the MTV Video Music Awards early Monday morning.
He has been in a Las Vegas hospital since the incident, which local police suggest was initiated by an inebriated Hinds. Witnesses have said that Hinds removed his shirt and started hitting a man with it, before being grounded.The band's manager Nick John said in a statement, "Thankfully, it seems he's going to [make a full recovery]. All I know is he had a bad head injury, broken nose and blacked-out eyes. He doesn't recall much."
