The attack occurred while the former Guns N’ Roses guitarist and his band were playing “Sweet Child O’Mine” in Milan at the Palalido when somebody ran out and tackled him.

But it was only a brief interruption and Slash kept on playing, according to RockRadio.co.uk.

“It was a rowdy crowd for sure – but amazing. The guy who nailed me didn’t take me down but he busted my poor guitar. Ah well… it was a kick-ass rock show.”
