Baton twirl injury needs 14 stitches
Lee Roth has to get 14 stitches to his nose after he injures it during a baton twirling segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kimmel:
He clips his nose and actually moves the nose. The world of baton twirling is very dangerous. He came offstage and our medic was trying to stop the bleeding. There was good deal of blood. David wanted to put duct tape on it…Immediately after the show he went to the hospital and the doctor put 14 stitches in his nose.
Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 22nd induction ceremony. Michael Anthony:
I’d also like to thank everybody who’s been with the Van Halen family through all the years and have endured and and toured and partied and worked and partied. . . It was a lot of hard work at times, but the partying kind of outweighed that once we took it out and brought it out to the people.
