Black Sabbath (3/18/1986)

A Wings Stadium Concert Scrapbook Page

Artist(s): Black Sabbath w/ W.A.S.P., and Anthrax
Date: 18 March 1986
Tickets: $13.50 (reserved seating and general admission)
Attendance: (event canceled)
Notes: Canceled one week before the show for what were described as “medical reasons” (singer Glenn Hughes had a knee injury). The Wings date was not rescheduled and refunds were issued. Concerts in Saginaw, Toledo, and Chicago were also canceled.

“Just four days before the start of the tour, Hughes got into a bar fight with the band’s production manager John Downing which splintered the singer’s orbital bone. The injury interfered with Hughes’ ability to sing, and the band brought in vocalist Ray Gillen to continue the tour with W.A.S.P. and Anthrax, although nearly half of the U.S. dates would be cancelled because of poor ticket sales.” (Wikipedia)
