House Of Blues releases statement about incident at Hanson show

Article Tools

A video of a woman getting into an altercation with a House Of Blues security guard after Monday night's Hanson show has been making the rounds today, and with good reason: In the video, a security guard engages in an extended altercation with a woman he thought took his photo, at one point pushing her so forcefully she falls backward flat on the ground.

NBC5 has reported the guard, Darrell Gibson, 31, of Sauk Village, has since been arrested for misdemeanor battery. It's been a rough week for the House Of Blues; just a few days ago, a woman filed a lawsuit claiming she was beaten up by the club's security. 

Live Nation, the parent company of House Of Blues, released this statement:

An incident occurred on Monday night outside House of Blues involving an individual and a security guard. We take our responsibility to maintain the safety of both our patrons and the artists who play at the House of Blues very seriously. We are looking into the incident and will cooperate fully with the authorities.

Here's betting the club's staff will be on its best behavior at tonight's Gary Allan show.
