REM frontman MICHAEL STIPE was once thrown out of a concert at gunpoint after he tried to excrement on stage.
The musician was performing in America in the 1980s when he became offended by the audience, who mistook his band for a ska group.
In protest, Stipe pulled down his trousers and tried to relieve himself in front of the shocked crowd - but the band was thrown out of the venue with guns held to them following the incident.
He tells Interview magazine, "I pulled my pants down (on stage) once and tried to take a s**t on stage as a protest to an audience who thought we were a ska band. We were thrown out at gunpoint. It was the West Coast in the early ’80s. We were, in fact, opening for a ska band."

Rapper/producer JERMAINE DUPRI has avoided foreclosure on his Atlanta, Georgia home moments before it was due to go up for auction.
The hip-hop star reportedly failed to keep up with repayments on a bank loan amounting to more than $2.5 million (£1.56 million) and the mansion was expected to go under the hammer at a courthouse last month (Apr11).
But the sale was cancelled at the last minute, suggesting Dupri had worked out a deal to keep the house.
Lawyers handling the foreclosure have refused to explain why the auction was axed.
The property problem is not Dupri’s only financial issue - he is accused of owing almost $500,000 (£312,500) in back taxes on income earned in 2007.

Tragic actor GARY COLEMAN’s former manager VIC PERILLO has sensationally revealed his late client’s remains have still yet to be buried or cremated as the first anniversary of the star’s death looms.
Coleman died on 28 May, 2010, and, according to Perillo, his burial plans are still on hold because of a legal wrangle between his parents and his estranged wife.
In an essay obtained by WENN, in which Perillo urges the news networks who covered all the negatives of Coleman’s life after he passed away to pay tribute to the former child star, he writes, "This was not the proper and dignified manner to show respect for the magnificent talent the world TV and film audience knew in Gary Coleman. This was not the send off he deserved." He adds, "Unfortunately we learn of the great works and noble deeds of a person upon their death and at their memorial. Gary’s deeds and contributions to the entertainment industry and other endeavours were overshadowed by the desire of the media to stay focused on the misfortunes of his life and all the negatives.
"Gary’s downfall was not entirely of his own doing. He had help. There exist within the film and television industry those who make up the body of the Peripheral Industry. The new age life coaches to the stars, the managers and consultants, who have categorically destroyed the lives and careers of many performers. Gary Coleman was a victim of the Peripheral Industry, not of his parents.
"On this, the first anniversary of his death, I have contacted the three major (U.S. TV) networks, asking them to honour Gary, his eight years on Diff’rent Strokes, his seven movies of the week, his work as a spokesman with the National Kidney foundation and the many charitable endeavours he gave of his time and effort to.
"The answer from the networks were, ‘Not interested,’ ‘We don’t have any time’ and ‘We pass…’ To praise his work, talent and his person is of little interest to them. And yet, should his ex-wife, Shannon Price, or (Diff’rent Strokes co-star) Todd Bridges make a statement condemning his parents, they are given Carte Blanch time in the press. Have we lost our theatrical moral conscience?"

Singer SHERYL CROW is keeping her budding romance with musician DOYLE BRAMHALL II low key when they spend time with her children, because she doesn’t want the kids be heartbroken if they split.
The All I Wanna Do hitmaker went public with her latest relationship last week (04May11) when they both attended the Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s spring ball in New York.

She tells Prevention magazine, "I’ve been in the situation where I’ve been involved with people and their kids, and if the relationship doesn’t work out, it’s heartbreak. So I’m keeping the relationship friend-based when we’re around the kids.
"Luckily, we have a great foundation, having known each other for 15 years." Crow was previously engaged to marry champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, but the couple split in 2006 after three years together.

British royal PRINCE WILLIAM has been hailed a hero after rescuing a man in Wales just days after his star-studded wedding to CATHERINE, DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.
The couple wed in London’s Westminster Abbey on 29 April (11) but they delayed their honeymoon so Prince William could return to work as a helicopter rescue pilot for the Royal Air Force.
Last Wednesday (04May11), the 28 year old was involved in a daring rescue mission to help Nick Barnett, who suffered a heart attack while climbing a hill in Snowdonia, north Wales.
Prince William flew Barnett to a nearby hospital, and the 70 year old, who is recovering well, has praised the royal and his colleagues.
He says, "I’m grateful to Prince William and the crew and the member of Llanberis mountain rescue who came to my aid.
"The winchman did a wonderful job, as did the whole helicopter crew. You see all the documentaries and it all looks hair-raising. Until it happens to you, you don’t appreciate their skill and bravery.
"I didn’t set out to be rescued by Prince William. My family and friends are all stunned."
