New York-based rockstar and former ‘The Voice’ contestant Sophia Urista is facing backlash for urinating on a fan during a concert.
However, this kind of behavior is not uncommon among famous rockers.
Rockstars like Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, GG Allin, Donita Sparks, Gene Simmons, Shannon Hoon, and many others have engaged in even more shocking acts on stage.
A video of Sophia Urista’s NSFW act has gone viral on social media.
In the video, the ‘Brass Against’ frontwoman invites a fan on stage, asks him to lie down, and proceeds to engage in a ‘Golden Shower’.
The audience was shocked and disturbed by this act, and many criticized the band for allowing such obscenity.
Urista may also face legal consequences as a fan filed a police report following the Florida concert.
However, if we look back at the history of rock music, we can find numerous instances of bizarre and disgusting acts performed on stage that surpass Sophia Urista’s actions.
For example, the ‘Godfather of Punk’ Iggy Pop has vomited on his fans multiple times during performances.
L7 singer Donita Sparks once threw a used tampon into the crowd and even encouraged fans to “eat it”.
Punk Rocker GG Allin threw his own feces into the crowd on several occasions.
In 1986, Gibby Haynes from Butthole Surfers had s** on stage with a backup dancer while the entire audience witnessed it.
Even musicians like Fergie, Shania Twain, and Marie Osmond have admitted to peeing on stage during their performances.
Fergie infamously wet her pants during a Black Eyed Peas concert in 2005.
Photos of her pants with visible wet stains circulated online, causing her significant criticism.
Fergie explained that she didn’t have time for a bathroom break and couldn’t control her bladder during the performance.
In 1993, Shannon Hoon of the ‘Blind Melon’ band was arrested for urinating on stage during a concert in Vancouver.
He shocked fans by performing n^ked and peeing on the front row seats.
Hoon tragically died of a cocaine overdose two years later.
Ozzy Osbourne, famous rockstar from ‘Black Sabbath’, has also been known to pee on stage.
In 1982, he was arrested for urinating on the Alamo Cenotaph, a historically significant structure in Texas.
Sources claim that he has urinated on stage multiple times and often used water as a disguise.
In the same year, he bit the head off a live bat during a show, shocking the audience.
During a 2018 interview, Shania Twain confessed that she once peed on stage.
She shared a humorous anecdote about accidentally knocking over a glass of water and creating a puddle while getting up to sing.
In 2012, Marie Osmond had an embarrassing moment on a cruise ship performance with her brother Donnie.
She laughed so hard at a fan’s question that she couldn’t control her bladder and ended up peeing herself.
The audience found it amusing as she tried to clean up the mess with her dress.
Sophia Urista’s act may be shocking, but it is not unprecedented in the world of rock music.
Many famous rockstars have engaged in even more outrageous behavior on stage.
While these acts may be controversial, they have become part of the rock ‘n’ roll culture throughout history.
