A rock band from Cleveland was putting on a killer show, until the vocalist accidentally swallowed the only working mic.
A Witness told Hard Times that the vocalist – Sarno was bouncing around the stage with the mic in his mouth, when he was accidentally hit by a fan attempting a stage dive. The mic got lodged into the the vocalist’s throat.
Sarno initially refused medical attention, claiming that a cup of coffee would fix everything.
Show promoter Rob Wilford was not happy about the situation. “It was unprofessional. We hold these guys to a certain standard and swallowing a microphone whole is as rookie of a move as playing out of tune or covering the same band twice in one set,” he said.
Saro is on his way to make a full recovery, but the same cannot be told about the mic.
“We have to throw it out. Most mics are gross with spit and other bodily fluids, but I can’t justify using a microphone that is partially digested,” said Wilford.
“He does the ‘microphone in mouth’ move all the time,” said bassist Jake Mainini. “Nobody saw this coming, it’s something we would joke about, but the time for jokes is over. We have to pay for that microphone out of the band fund. We actually thought we might make money on tonight’s show.”
