Queens Of The Stone Age Singer Arrested For Nudity
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) _ Police arrested the singer of the hard-rock band Queens of the Stone Age after he went onstage naked at the Rock in Rio music festival, local media reported.
Globo television showed American band leader Nick Oliveri being escorted offstage Friday (January 19) by officers after a judge apparently ordered his arrest. Oliveri was cited and asked to put on a pair of pants before being released. He was then allowed to continue the performance, Globo reported.
The band was one of many attractions on the fifth night of the seven-day international music extravaganza. Sepultura and Iron Maiden were scheduled to perform late Friday.
Local police said they had no information on the arrest.
