Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello is accosted by security

Rage Against the Machine was performing their latest song, Killing in the Name, for their audience in Toronto when suddenly a fan in a red T-shirt ran to the front of the stage.

However, before he could jump into the crowd, the venue’s security guards blocked him.

Additionally, security not only thwarted the intruder’s jump from the stage, but also accidentally bumped into Tom Morello, who was playing guitar onstage.

According to online videos, the 58-year-old guitarist also partially fell off the stage when the guard made contact with him.

The leader of the gang, Zack de la Rocha, also abruptly stopped acting as soon as he saw Morello fall into the pit.

He repeatedly yelled, ‘wait, wait, wait’ when the music stopped. The vocalist has been confined to a wheelchair ever since he injured his leg in one of his previous performances on the reunion tour.

Additionally, Morello was helped to his feet and returned to the stage where the band continued to perform to a roaring crowd.

Fans took to Twitter after videos of Tom Morello’s mishap began surfacing on the internet.

One user said: ‘Like true rock stars though, #RATM didn’t let that stop the show. What an amazing concert.’

Another praised: ‘Make this a feature of every show.’

Additionally, one user wrote: ‘Rage next to the machine’, while another chimed in saying: ‘I would have paid to see that!’

A different fan stated: ‘I hope he had his vaxx passport with him.’

Make this a feature of every program.

The Morello incident is not the first. The news comes just after security pushed back a fan who was trying to get close to Lil Baby during his concert.

Roddy Ricch also got into an altercation with a fan after he repeatedly tried to pull the rapper’s leg during his recent performance.

Meanwhile, Cardi B also got into a fight with a fan after they tried to grab the Bodak Yellow artist’s microphone at Wireless Festival.
